Gandhi

This morning we closed up our Pod and headed to the Mother Dairy shop which is just across the road. Here they sell really delicious cold lassis, which we love!

Next we walked through the the park to the Metro station where we discovered an interesting shopping mall. It had lots of well known food outlets; Taco Bell, KFC, Starbucks... The Metro took us to Khan Market, which had a few fancy shops including an M&S lingerie shop. From here we walked along wide, neat and clean streets to the Gandhi Smriti.

Gandhi Smriti was a museum dedicated to the life of Gandhi with interesting displays, videos and beautiful gardens. It also housed the spot where Gandhi's life was ended by a bullet.

We continued to explore nearby Lodhi Gardens where a number of ancient Muslim tombs could be found. There was also a pretty lake and lots of Delhi residents enjoying their weekend.

The Metro took us back to where we had stated. Burger King was calling, so this was where we ate. Christmas music was playing as we entered the shopping mall and there were also Christmas decorations in one of the fancy coffee shops.

From here we walked through the park and joined the queue to visit inside the Lotus Temple. It was packed and the crowd monitors ushered people through. When it got dark we ate at a street seller under the Metro rail before heading back to our Pod through the park.
