Dehli
Dehli, the capital of India, was our first stop. We got there early morning, found a hotel to stay, washed up, and set out for our day in the capital city.
Our first place to hit was the Red Fort. Unfortunately, it is close every monday, and guess which day did we arrived on ? So we toke a pic from far and moved onto our next stop.
This sux ...
We then toke a cycle-rickshaw ride to Jama Masjid. Man, the human cycle-rickshaw ride as a painful experience. The guy who is riding the tricycle like bike only weights somethings like 100 lbs at most, while me and Ahmed together with our backpacks, probably weight 300+ lbs. I really felt sorry for that old guys. So we gave him more than he asked for so that he can buy a good meal for that hard work.
TO JAMA MASJID !!
The Jama Masjid is incredible. I really don't know how to describe that feeling. When I landed my foot at the door step and saw the whole thing, the only thought in my mind was "Wow ...". Anyways, I'll let the pics do the talking.
Wow ...
Peace and Pigeons
We even climbed up to the towers to get a solid view of the Masjid and the city. The climb was pretty dangerous cuz the stairs are small and slippery. But we don't even know the sense of danger anymore after being in India for 3 months.
City from high up.
Canadians ...
Masjid from high up.
The next place on our list was Qutb Minar. Basically it is just a tall tower that was built back in the days with some amazing scupltures work on it. The tower reminds me of the tower in the old Dragon Ball .... the tower where Goku has to climb up to meet the cat god and get the saint seed.
The tower.
Indian family trip !
Amazing ...
Trying to look kool ....
Ahmed always seem to look kooler.
After the tower, we headed to the famous lotus temple .... which was closed after 5pm (we got there at 7pm). Yup, got rejected twice by the Delhi famous buildings. Oh well .... then we headed to India Gateway.
Freeezzzzing ....
Man, Delhi was freeeeezzzing at nighttime. Something like 5 to 10 degrees. Even us harsh winter proven Canadians can't stand the cold and had to put some heavy jackets on.
Canadian, eh ?
That ends our day trip in India. Next stop : Agra.
