Last days in India

We arrived back in Delhi early this evening, Monday 29 April after a long day on the road.  Yesterday we drove from Varanasi to Lucknow, stayed the night in Lucknow - nothing to report.  The hotel was on the outskirts of town.  It was grotty and the only helpful staff member was a (near) toothless elderly waiter.  Maybe they were tired as it is wedding season and they were packing up from one that day and setting up for another for today.  No excuse for bad manners or uncleanliness.

Another roadside snack - salted cucumber






















Today the drive from Lucknow to Delhi was full of sights as everyday in India normally is.  There was numerous truck mishaps, trucks being driven to body works for fit out, oddities on bikes, full to the brim taxis and more.

Oops!

And again!

Bangles followed by more bangles
