Day 5 in Delhi

Today we were able to find a FabIndia store that had a larger stock of some of things Dan was especially looking for. We took the Metro Blue Line to Rajouri Garden, where it intersects with the Pink Line. We have learned that the intersections of two Metro lines don't always share the same station. This one required a long walk between the two stations. The walkways are inside and covered, and in this case, quite far above ground. The Pink Line took us directly to Lajpat Nagar, where our map app led us the wrong way. But we eventually found the FabIndia Experience Center. I'm not completely sure what the experience is, but it did have a cafe where I enjoyed a fresh lime soda. And it was a much larger store than the one we found earlier.

Part of the walk was along the busy Ring Road, but there was a sidewalk area along a kind of side access road. We passed this interesting old building on our way. It must have been quite grand once, but is derelict now.


Here's Dan going into FabIndia.


On our way back to the Metro station, we were able to stop in at a Westside store. In the past I have found a number of clothing items there, but I wasn't really in a shopping mood. 

We had another line transfer on the way back to our hotel. This wonderful sign was posted several times on the walkway between stations. 


In the evening, we went back to the Beer Cafe and had paneer tikka - large cubes of paneer coated in spices and roasted in the tandoor. And it even had some vegetables!

I have developed a head and chest cold so probably won't have anything to post for Monday. I'll stay in and rest up for our trip to Meerut on Tuesday.
