Tuesday, September 12, 2017 Dehli
Our last stop in Delhi was the National Museum. I was looking forward to seeing the Clothing and Textile exhibit, but alas, it was closed. It was still an interesting museum, if a bit small.
Some photos from the drive to the museum
A newscaster! Not sure what the story was.
The Indian Coast Guard
This is where we stopped for lunch. It was not a bad place. Mark had a curry and I had butter chicken. I tried my first Fresh Lime Soda, it was just lime juice and soda water. I enjoyed those!
On our way back to the bus, while fighting off the crap vendors, we spotted a monkey! Just hanging out. We gave him a wide berth.
The National Museum
The entrance hallway
The object of the week. I took a photo of the sign but it came out blurry. Sadly, I have no idea what it is.
The exhibit of adornment had some of the most amazing jewelry!
Portraits of all the Mughal emperors on this screen
Lon would have loved all the dioramas
All carved out of elephant ivory
an ancient game. I would like to learn more about this
Mark's turn
all the wires...
How many children can we fit onto a bicycle rickshaw?
We have no idea what this was all about
random column
Slow day for ice cream sales
Outside at the National Museum
We both thought the jewelry was gorgeous

A child's toy from the palace
Squat toilet. You put your feet on the grooves and do your business. I avoided these when possible.
Back outside
Back to the bus
