Last Day in Delhi

Red Fort

On our last day in Delhi and we still have much to see. Today we visited the Mosque of Jama Masjid, the largest mosque in India. We also went to the Red Fort. Our rickshaw driver tried to convince us that it was closed, and that we could only take pictures from the outside so we would stay in his rickshaw and pay the fare back to our hotel, we trusted our gut and got out… oh those Rickshaw drivers, little head wiggle. The Red Fort is vast, and beautifully ornate. Walking around, I couldn’t help but think how strange it was that people would build such grand palaces for their emperor’s.

First day of wondering around New Delhi… We visited the beautiful Lotus temple, and learned more about the Bahai Faith, www.bahaindia.org. We also got lost and when we finally got a taxi we discovered the chaotic art of driving in India.

Not sure what day or time it is but we have made it through our first day in Delhi. The Paharganj area is far nothing we could have imagined. Tomorrow we are on a mission to find the Apple store and visit the Lotus Temple. At dinner we met a guy who biked here from Austria, really!
