After a rather late start, we walked about 3km. En route we chatted to a number of locals and posed for several photos with them. In this area of Chandigarh foreigners must be a little rare.
We reached the main road where the VK Mall is located. This was no ordinary shopping centre. It was huge and contained lots of fancy stores. Big high street names such as Superdry, Marks & Spencers, H&M, Zara and Hamley's lined each level. To enter you had to walk through the x-ray machine and be checked by a security guard. We studied the prices in the shops and they were similar to the UK. All we bought was ... lunch!
On the way back we bought lots of fruit to eat. Paying was slightly more difficult than usual as no English was spoken. Money was held up and that is the amount we gave.
