Old Delhi has the largest mosque in India, I was swindled out of 200 rupees at the door(tickets for a mosque?) but once inside I saw that it was well worth it. The red stone courtyard set on a hill and is bordered by columed walkways on 3 sides. The main building has vaulted ceilings and a large chandelier.

Next the red fort.
A walk through Old Delhi was a few hours lost in alleyways and when I finally emerged on to a larger street with more than foot and bike traffic, I was done.
It was early afternoon so I headed to Cafe Turtle straight for the John Grisham, it was sitting right where I left it 2 days ago. I spent the next two hours sipping fruit juices and teas and reading. However half way through the book, I lost interest, my mind wandered and I was brought back to Delhi - I still have time for massage before dinner.
For Dinner at Defense Colony, I was drawn to the seafood place next to an Italian restaurant I had been to earlier. It was a quiet lounge with a variety of whiskies, Indian and international. I gorged myself on seafood salad(it was really big salad) and read Google with my whisky till dark.
