Delhi

---

I arrived in Delhi determined to see as many monuments as I could fit in. Last year I read William Dalrymples fascinating book 'City of Djinns' on the way home from Delhi and spent the next few days looking at internet photos of all the things I wished I had seen in the flesh! Despite the heat, Christine and I managed to see the Old Fort, the Red Fort, The Jama Masjid (Friday Mosque) Begampur Mosque and Humayan's Tomb. There is still plenty left for another trip, but I think it may be a few years off!

This was the spot where, on 24 January, 1556 Humayun slipped off the stairs, missed his footing and stumbled to his death.
