Old Delhi

3-5 October 2007 - Joan and Lena's last days in Delhi included pampering, a visit to Old Delhi, and shopping. 

Our first street food...

We were hungry and Davender offered this place to stop...Dave was excited, but we 3 girls were quite frightened.

Doing dishes...

Yep, we ate off those dishes... it was DELICIOUS! I'd do it again!

Jama Masjid

The largest active mosque in India

A tow truck

I'd hate to have to pay for it...

On the way to the Red Fort

Funny story... the original driver gave up after 25 yards or so and this guy hopped on... "You are too heavy" the other guy said! Thanks for that!

From behind...

Not the most comfortable seat, but great views!

Red Fort Entrance

One of the gate houses

Us at the fort

Nice building

The Red Fort Sign

Beautiful carvings

I love arches...

A sign about the building

The room for public petitions

Gorgeous arches

The queens bathing room

Obviously, the couryard would be empty of men, and I assume the water was cleaner... and the fountains worked.

An elephant door pull

Ahhh, very Shah Jehan!

The Red Fort was build by Shah Jehan, who also built the Taj Mahal and parts of the Agra Fort. I love his style and use of white marble.

Another sign

More arches and inlay

Are you sick of these pictures yet?

And another...

The "stream of paradise"

spoken of in the last sign.

yet again...

Contrasting styles

Which one was built by the British, can you tell?

Another shot...

which one do you like better?

On our way out...

The Delhi Police Motto

The girls at Chandi Chowk

which means... crazy shopping... but not really!

Although Joan bought them to be used for the 3 wise men hats. Cute!
