Arrived at 8 this morning and checked into our hotel “Volga”. Went for breakfast before we could have our room. Went to the only place that seemed to be open – a canteen type place that only serves fresh rolls with lashings of butter and pineapple jam and chai – delicious!
Tried to go to the textile museum which is meant to be amazing but it is booked up (you have to go on a tour) for over a week. Tried walking to another site to see but got a bit lost and ended up somewhere random, eventually found a tuk tuk to take us to Manek Chawk bazaar.
Even when all the stalls are open this city does not have enough vibrancy to cover up the normal grime of India. The poor air quality is visible. The women aren't as brightly dressed (probably in part due to the large Muslim population). The cows don’t look as happy and are not for cuddling. Had a masala dosa then came back to hotel.
Had more bread, pineapple jam and chai in the afternoon and went for dinner in the evening had a new type of curry called Navratni Korma which is lovely and sweet.
