India Monday mar 21

Well to continue where I left off yesterday. Met Kim at Humayuns tomb. Delhi's first Mughal mausoleum. The gounds were lovely and huge so there did  not seem to have a lot of people. It was hot around the 37 degree mark, within the grounds is a square mausoleum for Humayun's barber. An important man because he was trusted with holding a razor to the emperors throat, thought that was kind of an interesting tidbit. They closed down the site early, made everyone leave as they were expecting some prince from Belgium. We then went to Lodi gardens and just wandered around and tried to find any shade.
Today Lara arrives and this evening we take the train to Varanasi, am really looking forward to that. It will be good in some ways to leave Delhi, it is so huge, busy and a little overwhelming to say the least. There are lots of things to see and I've probably just scratched the surface, hopefully I will some more time at the end of my trip.
