AK and are still acclimating to the hustle and bustle of Delhi. We had a late start and a early end to the day. We visited the Gudwara Bangla Sahib. Beatuiful place. We sat in the temple for a while; AK took a dip in the holy pool; and visited the adjoining museum and was highjacked by a nice old Indian gentlemen into taking the tour.
Connaught Place is a circle of hell. Not sure which one. Touts everywhere. All "helpfully" directing you to somewhere you never really wanted to go in the first place to buy crap you definitely need wanted to own. They make what should be a pleasant shopping excursion into a hellish experience.
Must apologize to AK. I lost my temper at my taxi driver. He drove us to a "shopping mall" we didn't want to go to. Forced us to go inside and then got angry at us for not buying the crap inside. While I don't mind overpaying... I hate being taken to a ride.
Ohhhmmmm... hopefully Day 3 will be more relaxing and peaceful.
PS - Delhi metro rocks though!!
