Yesterday was a very long and hot day.
After leaving the tomb on the walk back to the car we met a snake charmer, with a live Cobra. I knew if you were with us Max you would have insisted, so this is for you!
On our way to lunch we passed a number of sites including Parliament House and India gate.
After a quick stop for a cold beer and a snack in a funky little bar we had one stop to go.
Late in the afternoon we visited Ghandi's museum. It was fabulous and perhaps my favorite part of the day. It was amazing to walk where he walked his last days, stand where he prayed and see the assassination spot. It was a very moving place to visit.
The following images depict the place Ghandi was sitting before he walked through the garden to pray, and was assassinated.
Although not on our itinerary, it was a great place to visit - thanks Trish Morgan! The museum was full of Ghandi's sentiment of peace, a moving experience. Many Indian women asked to be photographed with me in front of the world peace chime, and we were extended a kind offer of dinner at a family's home in the evening.
My favorite mural in Delhi is on the wall of the police headquarters in the city centre of Ghandi.
We arrived back at our hotel after five - it was a day filled with brilliant colour, sound, smell and sentiment. The Indian people we have met have been very warm, friendly and inquisitive.
Yasemin, I knew you would have been intrigued by the doorman at our hotel so this is for you.
