Karnal Haryana India

Woke early in the house of Mr Kapur and his family after visiting more of his friends to have tea and have our photo taken, he tried hard to persuade us not to leave. But we said our thank you’s and goodbyes, it was all getting a bit much, felt like we were being paraded around, what with the heat and upset stomachs (Delhi belly) it was difficult.  We set off for Delhi, we now use the Indian greeting for the Indian women hands joined and a slight bow,  hope I don’t forget! After a short drive in temperatures of 110 we arrive in Delhi. The capital of India. A very orderly and clean place well laid out. And much to my pleasure we called on Bill and Brenda Norris(mums friends) and Bill immediately produced the shell I gave him nearly 7 years ago. And a letter from my mother which they received from her between us leaving Turkey and arriving here. They both look very well. India (up to now) has been fabulous, nothing like we expected. Sold 2 bottles of whiskey for 200 rupee, £5 each( with our tourist Liquor Vouchers) The Punjab is a dry state.  Now  camped up at Budist Monastery, ASHOKA MISSION VIHARA by QUTUB MINAR DELHI. A well 100 foot deep at the mission,  the pump is turned on morning and night to water the animals.
