Day 2...Sightseeing & shopping

Well where do we start...
Today we had a day of tourism although we haven't actually done that much yet. Firstly we looked at a monument of the march with Ghandi, with lots of posing and copying the statues to make the pictures all the more interesting.
We then went to the president's palace with lots of things surrounding it. It was beautiful! There was a huge arch (we have forgotten the name of these places so we shall get someone to fill you (and us!) in, for the next blog! The architecture on the building was a real mixture; British, European topped with an Indian twist. In the van more animals were seen especially monkeys...although Nick had trouble spotting them, so he got very excited when he eventually saw one!
Afterwards we went to the gardens with buildings that Inspiration had been taken from to build the Taj Mahal! Was beautiful, the Indian version of kew Gardens but better!
After a spot of lunch (In TGI Fridays!) we went to a market. My Gosh we've never experienced such a busy, crowded market ever before! Us women spent just over an hour choosing Salwar Kameez's each while the men looked around the rest of the market. Some found it quite hard with the beggars and people selling stuff in the street (the kids are so persistant), but we all got through and ended up having to restrain ourselves from buying anymore Salwar Kameez's. The choices were just overwhelming, think of any colour with any pattern and it would be there!
Such colourful, bold surroundings, London seems a little dull after while.

Tomorrow we're off to start the painting in the clinic, even though we are already very tired, we are raring to go! So prayer would be appraciated very much for a good nights sleep as some of us aren't getting enough due to very uncomfortable matresses and just generally can't sleep. Strength also as we spend our first full day of 5, that will hopefully transform some part of their lives! God bless and we shall report back tomorrow with lots more exciting news.
