yeah, good morning delhi, good morning india ... i always say that every morning in my travel. as happened in my cambodia trip and malacca. countries and cities deserves that from the travellers, aren't they? :)
morning delhi, morning india ...
in majnu-ka-tilla, after such a long way around northern part of india, close to the mighty himalayan mountaineous range ... i am back to 'normal' and have to be very 'normal' days ahead on my departure, back to my country. normal here means >> trying not to have post holiday blues after my india trip!
i already had custard with cashew nut at lhasa house [uhummm, let's say as 'training' before truely go to lhasa, tibet, one day :)]

>> Mughal Capital <<

Old Delhi was originally the Mughal Capital of Shahjahanabad, built by Shah Jahan when he moved the imperial court from Agra to Delhi.
Several of the buildings during his era:
~ Lal Qila [Red Fort]
~ Jami Masjid
~ Chandni Chowk >> several old British buildings also built nearby here, like Saint James' Church and General Post Office of Old Delhi

 Delightful pages, @rie. I take back the offer, you seem to know Delhi a lot better than I do :) Maybe next time you are here, you can take me on a guided tour instead ;) ... LOL.

 All that food looks very good, but did you go down with the dreaded "Delhi Belly"? I really like the Humayun's charbagh and Tomb. Great pages!
