Delhi Snaps

Jama Masjid. We stayed in a tiny hotel practically on top of this mosque in a little box room. Amazing views, but a night of no power in our stuffy room, a reek of petrol from the failing generator and a knock on the door at 1.30am, we decided to move away from the car parts bazaar (yes, our hotel literally was in amongst tyres and car doors!) to a different area of Delhi. Even splashed out on an AC room!

Qutb Minar. One of my favourite sites in Delhi, although I have to say I enjoyed the long ride on the metro to get there just as much. Environmentally sound tokens, AC trains and even a women's only carriage complete with pink flowery signs - Boris Johnson, take note!

Humayun's Tomb

The Red Fort (inside)

Spice Market; the smell of spices was so strong it made you sneeze.

The Lotus Temple

Delhi surprised me. Its numerous sites easily accessible by metro and laid back, modern feel made it an easy place to unwind. Next stop Agra!
