DAY 82

Continuing with my 'things on bikes' theme, this is a mobile shop specialising in items for children and women: toys, balloons, nail polish, bindis... doing the rounds of the neighbourhoods in Noida (see Day 83).

DAY 81

Stuck in traffic in Chennai. The Tamil script is so fabulous. Next time I go I'll try and get some photos of the painted billboards.

DAY 80

I am slightly obsessed with these giant tiffin boxes. We have a plan to buy one for the kids' lego, to separate it into colours. These ones are in the restaurant of the hotel in Chennai.

DAY 79

I'm in Chennai for work. This is my ridiculous hotel room. It has an open plan bathroom! My friend and colleague described the hotel as a bit like a Norwegian youth hostel... but I think it's more swish than that. I'm a day behind on the photos... will try and catch up tomorrow.

DAY 78

I was served this with my samosa in the British Council cafe - thinking about importing it to the UK.

DAY 77

This is taken from the inside of Connaught Place - a huge roundabout with streets of shops and restaurants surrounding it in two concentric circles. I've posted a photo of it before but I didn't think it gave you a good idea of what it looks like...

DAY 76

We have our second visitor - Sofie! So we have been perfecting our tourist itinerary around Delhi, including a drive past the imposing presidential estate: Rashtrapati Bhavan.
