New Delhi
2 days
Our stay in New Delhi is short. We only have 2 days so we get up early everyday and walk as much as possible. On our first day we decide to walk to a couple of modernist buildings and Hamayuns tomb. At the Baha’i temple, our morning mood is immediately tested by a queue of Indian tourists asking to take pictures with us.
We start our second day on a bicycle tour with Tenzin in Old Delhi. The busy old town is just starting to wake up. Beggars are crouching near restaurants until someone buys them a meal. At some point he shows us Sikh doctors who always tend to poor patients at the same corner of the street. One doctor pulls out a metre long bandage from a hole in the thigh of one of the patients.
We liked our tour so much that we ask to join Tenzin on a food tour in Old Delhi in the evening.
