We arrived safely and spent two days in Delhi. The Homestay is great, and Meera has looked after us really well - cooked us dinner, taken us out for dosas and showed us where to shop! As we have been to Delhi before, our sightseeing didn't follow the usual route.
Starting with the 'new', we went to the largest Hindu temple in the world which was completed in 2005 ... the temple is supported by 148 elephants round the plinth, and there is also a robotic history of the guru and a Disney-style boatride of Indian history ... Yes India can certainly do cheesy!!
Then we did the old, and went to the Red Fort with its gardens and palaces,
the Jamad Masjid, the largest mosque in India, then a rickshaw ride around the markets
We had a great time at Saubhag but now we are off to Bangalore.
