You, looking at me, looking at you…

Today was our last day of sight seeing in New Delhi. We slowly, as the week has gone by, have become more confident with finding our way around, catching the Metro, Autos and Rickshaws and interacting with people. We have slowly gotten used to people staring at us and appreciate any local advice which come without a catch. We also have also obliged some less dodgy looking people with photographs with us, though for every person that asks there are numerous people that are taking photo of us without asking. We are quite a spectacle.

Today we headed out early to the Red Fort, back to Old Delhi with the very in your face poverty, strong smells of human waste and chaotic commerce all around. The Red Fort lived up to expectations, baring signs of its history as both a palace and a military barrak.

We then headed afterward to South Delhi, beyond where we are staying to Qutb Minar. Which look beautiful in the softer light of the late afternoon.

Tomorrow we join our Intrepid Tour and we begin our trip overland to Kathmandu.
