Lazy Day in Delhi
This morning we had a leisure start, the heat of the morning naturally rules and makes it easy for us to just take our time. We went to the rooftop restaurant for breakfast and made an ‘end of the trip’ toast. We opted to continue the lazy morning, so headed back to our room. For lunch, which we caught a tuk-tuk and set off to finally see the Red Fort. When we were inside and the sun was shining brightly, when we came back out, there were black clouds brewing. We made a mad dash for the museum, but the museum people wanted us all out because the power went out. Luckily, there was a large open-sided area where we just were, so we headed for there just in time. The downpour was tremendous, we stood watching and even shivering for over an hour.
We left as soon as we felt we weren’t going to be totally soaked, but that was a fruitless idea. As soon as we stepped outside, there wasn’t a tuk-tuk in sight. We finally managed to find a minicab and he saw to desperate people and took full advantage of it. It cost us 300 rupees to get us to our next destination. To an area where the best restaurants Delhi has to offer! We just picked the first restaurant within walking distance from where our minicab dropped us off. The food was excellent, especially since we hadn’t I thing to eat since breakfast.
We wandered back to our hotel, which wasn’t too far away. We didn’t was to spend anymore money today on transportation. The rains had cooled things off, at least for an hour or two, so walking wasn’t so bad. It was time to pack our bags and check out. Delhi was well worth a visit. Especially all the wonderful restaurants. They were our best companions.
