Toilet
Monsoon rain
Lunchtime

After lunch when we all felt slight more alive and the rain stopped we jumped on an auto to the Metro Station and went into the city centre. We headed for Parjang Market which is opposite Delhi railway station. We walked through the market and Mrs G bought some Indian clothes I bought a tiffin box and a toy auto. I hear you ask what is a tiffin box well its a metal round tin made up of three parts to carry your Dal and rice to work. Cost the handsome price of £1.50
Had a nice time in the market and bought a few gifts.

We then went into the station to the International tourist office to see about trains to Amritsar. Well it was easy peasy and within 20 mins had booked travel there and back. Total cost £30 inculding food on the train. Brilliant. The station staff we so helpful. We have reserved seats and air conditioning.

Once done jumped back on the Metro and came home for veg omelettes and an early night. No more Delhi Belly tonight hopefully, however did stop and buy some bog roll on the way home.


Good night blog fans.
