Saturday 17th September

The last day of our tour. It is bitter sweet. We had a quick breakfast, got settled and headed out on a quick orientation of Delhi. We took the metro into town. Very civilised. I travelled up front in the ladies only compartment in wonderful air conditioning. The metro stations are all very clean, the train rides is very, very smooth indeed. Other rail systems could take a leaf out of this book by using the reusable tokens. Forget the ridiculous amount of paper tickets, such a waste!
We had a quick walk around the outside of the parliament, ministerial and presidential buildings. As it was so hot we hopped in a tuk tuk down to India gate. It was about 1km away, but the heat was unforgiving and we were all sans water.
We proceeded into Connaught place. I think we are shopped out. We all did our own thing for the rest of the afternoon. Ric and I went down to the Palak bazaar which is underground of connaught place. Pretty much everything we didn't want was for sale down there. We then hopped on the metro back to our hotel. We got freshened up and met the group for our last meal together.

It was the restaurant called Spicy by Nature. The service was fantastic, and the food was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend it. We did a chilli off which left us all with Angelina Jolie lips by the end of it all.
We headed back to the hotel where we had a glass of rum to bid our guide, Abhi, adieu. He has a another tour leaving at 6am the following day. We all will be staying in bed. Finally!
