Back In Delhi - Chadni Chowk
Arrived in Delhi yesterday morning and after some sleep headed out to Old Delhi to wander around the maze of lanes, alleys and streets that make up Chadni Chowk market.
If you need to get upstairs to grab a few more items from the shop, these ladders will do:
If you get thirsty, perhaps some lemon water:
The wiring in the market is kind of crazy:
We had lunch at Karim's a 100+ year old restaurant serving Mughal food, and which is just behind the Jama Masjid, the largest Mosque India, which can hold 25,000 devotees in the courtyard. I didn't go in, as I had been in last year but here are a couple pics of one o the corner minarets:
I opted to forgo a haircut, given that I don't really have any hair- but here's where I could have had one in the Chadni Chowk:
And here is a video of just a small part of the pedicab ride to the Metro station, which will give youa sense of the traffic:
Finally, after the craziness of the Old Delhi markets, a beer overlooking Deer Park down in Hauz Khas Village:
