| Mehrauli Archeological Park |
Jane (the lady from Sydney who also came early for the tour) and I took the metro today to Mehrauli Archeological Park, a huge site with gardens and historical monuments.
The metro was fairly easy, although extremely crowded. Crossing the road from the metro station to the park was another matter. Waiting for a break in the traffic is the only way to do it, as there are no such thing as pedestrian crossings! The park was huge and after initially being in the not so nice part of it, we found the gardens, which were actually green! It's obviously the place to go for strolls and picnics and a welcome break from the craziness that is Delhi. The sites were interesting, Mosques and burial sites. We got given 'guided tours' by some security guards, all a little odd, and both Jane and I agreed it wasn't the sort of place we would have felt comfortable on our own.
We had dinner at a wee place around the corner, the most basic looking 'restaurant', which is probably a grand term for it. But the food was absolutely delicious and so cheap! A big plate with rice and 4 different dishes with it, naan bread, only $2.60.
And a beer on the rooftop terrace to finish the day.
