What We Have Been Up To...

Bikaner is a town halfway on our route back to Delhi. We arrived in the afternoon. There is not much to say about this town except that a bit of a way out of it there is a bizarre rat temple where thousands of rats reside in their place of worship. We unfortunately did not make it that far as our time on Bikaner was limited to just a stopover. We did, however, venture out onto the streets to go try out some of the goodies in one of the typical Indian sweet shops. The shop owner gladly made us taste a range of his produce. The Indian idea of sweet things is so different to ours so it was quite an experience to try it out.

The next morning we hit the road again. There was lots distance to cover and quite a bit of traffic to negotiate as we approached Delhi (the place we affectionately call the armpit of the universe). Our journey took us 11 hours. We were thrilled to be back though. We stayed in the same hotel we had stayed in almost 2 months earlier! The hotel had been revamped and was quite a bit fancier than we remembered. We indulged in our favourite indian food and did some last minute shopping before heading off to the airport for our cheap flight to Mumbai...
