Smiles & waves - where I took a photo every 21 seconds
01.12.2017 - 01.01.2018
Sitting back and relaxed during this 2 hour eco-friendly tour, being pulled along by a bicyclist on a cycle rickshaw saw the city sights at a slower pace and from street level.
How do I judge if I have Iiked a day? Often by the number of photos that I take. Well in these two hours took 343 or one every 21 seconds. No, I am not a Japanese tourist. Click ... click ...click
Again I will let the photos do the talking as to what I saw and experienced.
Felt like hundreds of not only children but also adults who were waving and smiling to us as we pass through several suburbs.

These 2 hours were certainly a highlight of the trip for me. Unfortunately this form of transportation is becoming less and less with fewer guys prepared to take on this sort of lifestyle. Yes, it is not only for us tourists but also for locals who will want to go short distances.
Dinner back at the hotel's Dakshin a multi-cuisine restaurant with the Lasooni Paneer Tikka = paneer and spinach cooked in a saffron based gravy clay pot rupees with the vegetable pulao 150 rupees / NZ$3.20 / US$2.30. I had expected the meal to come out in the clay pot but alas not so. It was cooked in a clay pot! All up with the Lime soda 50 rupees / NZ$1.00 / US$0.80 came to 368 rupees / NZ$7.80 / US$5.70.
