A very busy work week in Ankara with the govenment of Turkey and then flying to New Delhi overnight to meet with the Government of India and then the company.
The flight was an overnight flight and since we had worked all day the day we flew it was an exhausting day. We arrived in New Delhi at 6:30 am and were dead tired. Prepared and then slept and then explored the hotel a bit. I went out to get Indian rupees when I arrived and changed my mind when I saw how crowded the streets were and I was out alone.
Hotel is great and grand and the food very good.
Thursday after working all day, we returned back to the hotel and then took a taxi to Khan Market across from the Ambassador Hotel. We walked the market and found a restaurant for supper then shopped the market. I bought two pairs of light shoes for walking around.
On Friday after working all day, we returned back to the hotel and tried to walk to a market that one of the hotel people told us about and we gave up as the traffic got too bad and we took a Tuk Tuk to the Kalishy (?) market. This was a real local shopping spot and it was Friday evening and jammed. WE had supper (not much choice and it was Subway) and then took a look around. I found a pair of my favourite summer shoes (great find for me) and Andrew got a new computer bag (the zipper broke on his old one during this trip). I enjoyed this market even though it was grotty looking.
We ended up taking another Tuk Tuk back to the hotel (at least outside the gates of the hotel- we did not want to go up the ramp to the front door of the hotel). Then it was bed.
On Saturday I ended taking a taxi to Peter's and then visited with his family, the girls, the dogs Pic and Tic and everyone. Roxy and Mohead and I went to an afternoon theatre show which was like Cirque de Soleil and it was wonderful. Both of the younger girls are taller than me now!
Then Roxy and Mohead drove me back to the hotel in the later evening. The lunch was very good prepared by their cook and we had take out MouMOu for supper. Peter and Mary's place is on the 15th floor penthouse condo and they have a huge place with a terrace and lawn and seems like a house until one goes down the elevator. Quite nice and five bedrooms and five bathrooms and large open concept, living areas.
So it was a very nice day and tomorrow it is birding! Have to get up early.
