Delhi in a day

Last night, Friday, as well as being the night that we kicked the curse of Geelong and won our way to the Grand Final "GO HAWKS" was also the night of dinner at "Spice Route" at the amazing Imperial hotel. Really I won't go on about it here as it would take way toooooo lon,g but lets just say the night was wonderful, the art deco hotel amazing and if ever we come back that's where we stay. Here are a few pics to wet your appetite.

Very Chrysler Building lift well, beautiful lighting

Did someone mention a "BAR" we're there lol


Food requires the appropriate setting, this one took 7 years to paint and was amazing, apart from the upper middle class bogan Indians that turned up in headphones and thongs ??????? dddddddddddddddddddrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr



I'm not even going to try to explain all the places we went to today, but the best of it was three world heritage sights, the Red fort, pics on application, the Huymans Tomb (I think that's how it's spelt.) which was the original of the Taj Mahal but done in red sandstone and is currently in the process of restoration and when finished in "Indian Time" will be amazing and then the tower. Again lots of pics but viewing on application, you will only get to see the fun bits here lol.


Yes, there was several Mosques and this was by far in the best condition but the Indians are in a program of restoration that will make this a really spectacular place to visit. 

Oh did I mention that there is a whole section of the city "English Section" built in the 1930's and has some of the most amazing deco housing in the world. Most of it is embassies and consular residences, so it's hard to get pics but would rival Frank Lloyd Wright designs if restored.


TAJ TOMORROW
