I have two more days left in Delhi and I'm trying to figure out what to do. Everyone else is either taking off and traveling for the weekend, or like me, they are returning home. The time went by so quickly and of course, I didn't do all that I wanted to do. India is so big that it would take years to see it all. Just trying to see all the sites in Delhi would take months!
I did, however, get to a point where I now feel comfortable getting around Delhi, and I really enjoy going to the markets and bazaars. I found a cafe about a 15 minute walk (depending on the traffic) from my apt;, and right next to the cafe is an amazing bakery/sweet shop.
A couple of us went to the movies and that in itself was an experience. The cinemas here are very plush and comfortable. You can get food delivered to your seats, and you can even have your own lounge, with waiters. The movie we saw was Zindagina Milegi Dobara (No Life Again) and it was very, very funny. About 10% of it was in English, so we did not have a problem following the plot. It was about 3 hours long, but the cinema was so comfy and with our Chai tea, we were perfectly happy.
I think for my last two days, I will visit some bazaars and spend some time at my favorite sweet shop and cafe!
