Another day in Delhi

We slept even longer today than we did yesterday - until 9am! Breakfast was the same as yesterday, except for the fact that I skipped the toast.
Then we packed (everything fit into our suitcases!) and checked out at twelve. We stored our luggage at the hotel and left. It was the first time that we were in Delhi alone and by foot. Immediately an Indian started talking to us and wanted us to go to some strange place and buy souveniers. We tried to tell him in a nice way that we didn't want to go there but finally we just left.
 It was difficult to find a nice location, especially because now constantly people tried to sell us something or to bring us into their shops. Eventually we went into a KFC and had a Coke to cool down and relax a bit. When we  had a look at the map, a man with a turban (maybe a Sikh) asked whether he could help us. He seemed nice and he really was. He showed us a place to shop for souveniers, clothes and all that stuff and even organzed a rickshaw there. Annetraud didn't want to go by rickshaw but she couldn't find enough arguments and so we sat in one of those small three-wheeled things. At the place we were told, we stayed quite long and also bought some things. Then the same rickshaw driver brought us to the shops near Connaught place and showed us a restaurant there. We had Dosai, which was good and not spicy at all. :)
That's what a plain Dosai looks like
Then we walked through the little shops, seached for a cyber cafe, found one and it was closed. Great. At least we saw some more of Delhi. After a rest in a Pizza Hut, we went back to the hotel where we now wait in the lobby until the taxi picks up us at 9pm. Raghav kindly ordered it for us. Thanks again!

Now I'm looking forward to coming back home. Although I heard that it shall snow in Innsbruck!
