My trip to India (Delhi)


My friend ans I went to India last winter vacation. At first we went to Delhi. Delhi is India's fascinating and sometimes frustrating capital. Delhi encapsulates two very different worlds. each presenting deliciously different experiences. New Delhi was buit as the imperial visitors can effortlessly dip into both worlds, spending half the day soaking up history at the Res Fort, Jama Masjid and medieval-flavoured bazaars of Old Delhi, and the other half reviving themselves over a frothy cappuccino or ice-cold beer in one of central New Delhi's restaurants or bars. We were happy to know that Delhi's gobal menus offer everything from rich Mughlai curries to crispy wood-fired pizzas.


Now I will say about my tour. On the first day of Delhi, we were cheated by Indian. But next day we felt better, and went on tour. we stepped back in time at the exemplary National Museum, then grabbed an autorickshaw southwest to peek at Safdarjang's Tomb. And we tucked into a scrummy seafood lunch at the restaurant. After lunch, we spent the afternoon exploring the sublime Humayun's Tomb, which is also in this area.


On day three, we rambled around Old Delhi's hisoric Red Fort and Jama Masjid. Afterwards, we headed south to Connaught Place for a bite to eat and spot of shopping. And we saw magnificent government and state emporiums. In the evenig, we watched the mesmerising Dances of India, then chill out at one of Delhi's hip bars.


Although we experienced some bad happenig, we had great time in Delhi. On the forth day, we went to the next city.
