Day 297 : Last day in Delhi


Got the metro and an auto to South Delhi to go to go to a cooking class and a lady called Jyoti's house. There was us two and an American guy. It was an intense 4 hours of Indian cookery although more like a demonstration than actually cooking ourselves although this was a good way to fit more in and we’ll just have to practice at home. Had lots of good food to eat and definitely learnt some stuff.

Took the metro back to Khan market for Will to try on his suit – the trousers and waistcoat are perfect but jacket not very slim cut. Left the shop then after thinking about it went back and persuaded them to sort it out even though we had to be on the plane in that night.

Went home then again back to Khan market Will tried the jacket it was altered but he’s still not totally happy but it looks really nice. Gave up with the rickshaws and took another metro journey home.

Note:
The hotel is completely wonky at first we thought we were tired as we walked up the stairs but then realised that each floor and the stairs is completely unlevel and wonky! It’s like Fun House!
Shopping especially in the malls is a pain – you have to go through security scanner and serached then every time you go into a shop you either have to hand your bag in or have it cable tied up!

Behaviour on the metro: The metro in new, clean and modern. Even it is always bust there is always room especially in the middle of the carriage but everyone squashes up buy the door and it’s like a race / rugby scrum when you get on and off even when it’s not busy! Each time I’ve been in que to get on I’ve had full grown, middle aged men in smart business suits scrambling and pushing past me to get onto a half empty carriage as if his life depended on it! What’s that about!

Taxi booked for 1.30 am all packed up! Can’t beleive it!
