The Qutub Mintar and Other Destinations
Another day of great weather! It is hot but manageable. 91 degrees is liveable. Today was an opportunity to see some more of the Mughal ruins. This area was built be Shah Jahan, the same guy that buil the Taj Mahal. And what better way to get there but by subway.
The New Delhi subway is clean and efficient and also cheap. $.40 will get me to my destination.unfortunately it is a mile away from the Qutub Mintar. This was another very interesting monument. First of all, the tower is the tallest in New Delhi. Much of it was built in the 16 1700s. It was extremely crowded. I thought I was going to have to stand in this very large line till I realized it was a separate entrance for foreigners. Of course you paid about 12 Times the cost of a local, it was nice to be able to go right up to the window pay my money and walk into the attraction. Inside were hundreds of families and school field trip‘s. Everybody was milling around and taking in all of the buildings in the ruins of the area. Once again I was popular school children for pictures. I even had one woman and her husband come over and asked me if I would stand next to her while she had her picture taken with me. I really do get a kick out of this.
I stayed here for a couple of hours. It was very hot and I really felt it was time to go back to the hotel and take a little rest. Once again I Ate dinner at the hotel. The food at the hotel was absolutely spectacular. Everything was fresh and fabulously spiced.
This is my last day on my own. The next day I would meet the tour and it would change the way I travel drastically. I don’t mean that in a bad way. I just mean it as a reality. I will now have to worry about what other people want it how it works for them.
I will miss this hotel. The people there were always nice and I was comfortableThere. I liked the location because you put me right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of New Delhi . I love being in the middle of all the things that are going on. I love to sit back and observe and being here and on my own gives me that opportunity. I enjoyed getting to know the people in the area only by A smile but it was getting to know one another just the same.
I want to new adventures tomorrow.
