Another Afternoon in Delhi

We arrived back in Delhi from Amritsar around 3 pm. We decided not to waste any time, and we immediately ventured out to go shopping in Chandri Chowk. We walked down quite a few streets and found a spice market. Here you can see nutmeg and cardamon to name a few that were available.


Molly and I inquire about the price for saffron and vanilla beans . . .


The proprietor of the shop insists that we take a photo in front of shop, while he poses behind us . . .
We continued on shopping and found some awesome stationary on Nai Sarak.

Then, we decided to hop in a rickshaw at sunset and go over to the Raj Ghat. The Raj Ghat is where Ghandi was cremated and one of the places in India where his ashes are interned.

After we finished at Raj Ghat, we went back to the Taj to get ready for dinner. Here we are waiting for our cab outside the hotel.

We went to Bukhara for dinner to share some kebabs. We also had one of Bill Clinton's favorite kebabs that he likes to eat when he comes to Delhi and dines at Bukhara.

As it was our last night in Delhi, Paul and Molly had to get their new favorite dessert--kulfi falooda--one last time before we travelled to the Himalayas the next morning. Of course, we had to go back to the ice cream stand on Pandara Road where they tried this tasty dessert our first night in New Delhi.
