We have had a day of today because it is the Republic Day here in India.
Lovely! We thought we would go and see the parade but you needed tickets so we thought we would watch it on T.V instead.
This morning we had a nice sleep in so watching the parade didn't happen either way!
It is a great day, the sun is out so we walked to the market and got some food for a picnic.
Our driver Daniel took us to Humayums Tomb, which is our favourite place in Delhi. It was quite busy so we walked around the back, found a nice little spot in the sun, unpacked our picnic and enjoyed! After about 3 minutes we had 2 dogs staring us down for Stephens ham and cheese sandwich.... we managed to scare them away and kept eating but then two guards came up to us and said that no food was allowed! :( So we packed up our picnic again, not even half eaten!
We walked up to the tomb because it was quite chilly where we sat and found a lovely , wind free little alcove where we sat for about 2 hours just reading our books.
People pointed and stared as they always do and after a while a group of men came up all wanted pictures with me in them,a bit rudely they positioned me how they wanted me to stand! Stephen ignored them all , just kept reading his book, after a while I had to tell them enough! It is fun for a while but gets too much quickly!
So we just got home, had some of our left over food, but most was melted and mushy, so Stephen is now making a smoothie for us!
He just came back with it, I tried it and said:that is a funny aftertaste what fruits are in it?
He then said, pineapple,plum, banana.
Me: well that shouldn't be weird.
He: oh yes, and a wee splash of vodka, is that what you taste??
Hahahaha
Here are some pictures from today!
