And I finally post some photos: Wednesday/Thursday
And now, what you've all been waiting for! Actually, if you have just been waiting for photos I'm offended you don't like reading my ramblings. Regardless, some photos:
In my first Tuk tuk |
Just some traffic outside the tuk tuk |
Out the other side |
Entrance to the Gardens |
The walkway through from the gate |
Inside the gardens |
The granite hill |
The shrine at the top of said granite hill |
Our rejected friend |
Cool trees, also my first failure at trying to photograph a squirrel |
Kites soaring overhead (bird Kite not kite kite) |
One of the families Alex befriended that we took photos with |
Sean befriends a topiary deer (?) |
Not actually sure what this was. We were trying to walk away from an overly enthusiastic potential tour guide at this point |
Some carvings |
This was a giant peacock that presumably will have a floral tail come August |
A fountain |
The rose gardens. There were no roses in bloom and regardless, they are behind a fence to stop people from picking them |
The rose gardens are prohibited |
Proof that since the invention of smart phones I have lost my ability to take selfies without seeing the screen |
Why I was taking a selfie... |
A lake/pond thing |
Everyone, meet an Indian Palm Squirrel! |
I may try and bring one back home with me.. |
Either fishing the lake or cleaning the nets - the fish was not very wiggly |
Topiaries! I am getting sick of posting captions |
ITS A TREE! A white silk cotton tree to be precise. It was huge |
I'm pretty sure the sign read 'Memorial Hall' and I wondered where the memorial for the clearly forgotten memorial hall was |
Its a fountain! Or is it a pond... |
A statue of people or things that I do not know what |
Did anyone else never realise that Snow White lived in India? Or was that just me? |
Sean and the dwarves |
Commercial Street district |
The display at the shop Alex spent forever deciding on clothes. The outfit in the middle is a traditional groom's outfit and the helmet is their joke regarding marriage |
Shoulda bought this for a friend (Cristina you know who you are) |
I do not know why this photo is at the end - this was the first photo I took in India - at the airport |
Our guest house (once again this photo should be at the start) |
The place across the street |
From Wednesday - First Thali plate and first attempt eating rice with my hands |
Also from Wednesday - the view from the roof at dusk |
Wednesday - selfie on the roof |
Thursday morning: Sean makes a friend Sherrie gets annoyed that her photos are out of order but is too lazy to try and fix it |
The sign that ruined my hopes of going into the lake at Lal Bagh |
SQUIRREL |
