We arrived at the hotel In the evening, dropped our bags off and headed straight out to Subway. We are both getting a bit fed up with Indian food again and you can get an uber pretty much anywhere for about 50p – so why not?!
On our first day here we went to the world trade park which is a really modern, big shopping centre with a food court and a cinema. We got a KFC (obviously as we miss chicken), did a bit of shopping (there was actually a marks and spencer here, how random) and got a Costa. Kerry also had to have a go on one of the massage chairs. Jonho was hobbling around the shopping centre as his foot started aching a few days ago but now he was struggling to walk. We decided to head to a pub, chill out with some beers and watch the football. It was too hot outside, Jonho couldn’t walk properly and we fancied feeling like we were back in England for the day. The pub was so nice, a little pricey for India but it was good! We ended up there for whole night before heading back to the hotel.
The next morning, Jonho could not walk on his foot at all and it went really swollen so the hotel manager drove us to the hospital to get an x-ray. Suprisingly, the hospital was really nice and very efficent! He had a consultation, an x-ray, was given antibiotics and a walking stick and we were out of there in half an hour and all for £16!! Apparently he has an infection but we’re not sure what from – possibly mosquitos as they love Jonho’s ankles!
In the afternoon, Jonho stayed at the hotel resting up and Kerry went to a world heritage site called the Jantar Mantar. This is a collection of architectural astronomical instruments built in 1739 and has the world’s largest sundial. It was actually really confusing as all of the explanations were difficult to understand. Maybe you have to be into astronomy? But basically the instruments allow the observation of astronomical positions with the naked eye. And, the site itself looked really cool!! After this, Kerry went back with chocolate and snacks for Jonho (any excuse to buy herself some dairy milk and doritoes).
The next day Jonho still couldn’t walk so we got an uber to a 4* hotel, had lunch there and chilled out by the pool for the day which was so nice!
On our final day we had a lie in and then Kerry went to the Hawa Mahal palace which was really pretty! Jonho was feeling a bit better but still not 100%. Our visa runs out in 4 days so we needed to get moving to see the Taj Mahal and get to Varanasi for our bus out of India so we had to get on a bus later in the afternoon, to Agra..
