Delhi
The next stop on our India trip was Delhi. Here we stayed at the lovely Lutyens Guesthouse in the exclusive Southern area of New Delhi. The facilities were simple but comfortable however the atmosphere was wonderfully homely. Our host, Shukla Nath, looked after our every need, and her staff cooked wonderful meals which we shared with Shukla and her other guests.
On our first full day in Delhi our friend, Sanjay, came to meet us at the guest house and took us on a tour of the city. The first stop was the National Museum. We spent about two hours looking around the museum. More than one hour alone was spent looking at the amazing collection of Buddist sculptures, both stone and bronze, on the ground floor.
By that time we were getting pretty hungry and Sanjay knew exactly were to find an excellent authentic Punjabi resuarant to take us to for lunch.
Next we visited the technical section of the E.D. Galgotia & Sons Booksellers at Connaught Place. We must have spent another couple of hours there and none of us left empty handed! (Well what do you expect when 3 Geeks/Nerds go to town!)
