Left the hotel at 11.00 after saying farewells to Ashok and his family, as we are being driven through to Delhi by Anil a friend of Ashok and who has to return to Delhi for work having taken leave for the wedding.
As we waited in the hotel forecourt for the pickup the Nepalese waiter who has served us at breakfast everyday came out of the hotel, shook our hands and wished us safe travels - that was a heartwarming gesture.
The drive through to Delhi was uneventful other than the traffic density as we neared the city.
The hotel was found and we booked in. A tip for all travellers: Do not believe the ratings and reviews on the booking sites. I’ll put it this way - the current rating of 9.8 will be severely reduced after we write our review.
It was well into the afternoon so we took a tuk tuk to Aerocity for lunch and some retail therapy- the former was had but the latter wasn’t as at lunch Sherry asked a lass in the food court where the best place for shopping was and was advised it was at Ambience Mall further away from the airport, so it was another tuk tuk journey across this part of the city.
The mall is in fact 3 malls flowing into each other, of at least 3 levels with the wide array of shops typically found in malls.
I saw an European face for the first time since we left the airport on our arrival and was also surprised (not sure why) by the number of Asian faces both shop assistants and shoppers.
Had dinner in the mall and returned by tuk tuk to the hotel.
