Lodi Gardens

Do Not Spit Here and There - Lodhi Garden sign. New Delhi.

Two things I’m particularly drawn to in India are tuk-tuks and signage. I do love a tuk-tuk drive, except that is when you have a young hot-headed road racer with a turbo charged tuk-tuk hurtling across the Delhi roads. One white knuckle ride is probably enough. We soon realised that an older driver is a wiser driver and a lot slower. This gentleman seemed quite bemused that we adopted him as Mr Tuk-Tuk. He didn’t know the way to many places, but that was unimportant.

A visit to the beautiful Lodhi Gardens proved to be both relaxing and very informative.

Finally we found the Indo-Islamic style tombs and the garden. Apart from history and beauty, Lodhi Garden is a fitness hotspot.

I’m not surprised that everyone, including the dogs, needed a rest. This really is a bit of an oasis in an otherwise noisy, crowded, dusty city.

A walk round a lovely lake and a bit more reading to finish off.

No shop yet, but a very sparkly new sign. Luckily our local shops have everything we need.
