First of all to explain, my blog and J's below are not in the exact order. We wrote the blogs separately.
Only now managed to get the internet connection that is not ridiculously expensive, not ridiculously slow and generally available.
A lot has happened since our first day. My initial idea – to blog in detail about everything we see – is definitely out of the window . So we've decided to upload as many pictures as we can and let them speak for themselves:). So, my most memorable experiences over the last few days:

Red Fort in Delhi - a dilapidated, but very majestic palace for a Mughal emperor (he was 2 meters tall and weighted 250 kgs, but (!!!) had 108 wives. And we’re pitying obese people, eh?;)

The gracious building behind Jonny is part of the fort (by J's happy facial expression you can tell he's imagining himself as that emperor..)

Me making bread rolls in a Sikh temple (that orange…ehh..thing on my head is not my idea of a good Indian style by the way, but a requirement – for both men and women - to cover heads).

We then ate that bread with dahl (lentil soup) sitting on the floor with all sorts of interesting characters. If you think that such massive feeding is for very poor people, you'll be very mistaken. People of different classes, ages and even nationalities come to that temple. It's more of a community thing in my opinion. By the way, we were made very clear that women ('unlike in Muslim culture') are of exactly the same status as men for Sikhs. And it does seem true - they don't sit separately, they behave in exactly the same way, well, at least in the temple.
All properly fed, happy and making friends:)
