A good day shopping

Gracious me, what a busy day we had yesterday. Firstly, we took a tuktuk to Janpath, which is row of Tibetan shops about 15 minutes ride away. They specialise in turquoise jewellery but what we were really after were little jewellery and trinket boxes. All found and bought, with a few bracelets that we'd spied, then back in the tuktuk to drop off with our exporter. We then tackled the main bazaar in Paharganj which is where our hotel is, I'll try to take some pictures today to give you a flavour. We also bought fleece clothing (ponchos, baggy trousers, zip hoodies) and lots of other trinkety type things. That believe it or not took 7 hours. Today it's more of the same - we've seen these lovely brightly coloured umbrellas which would be useless in the rain but very pretty as decorations and also some carpet bags (think Mary Poppins) in a similar jaunty fabric. Post more pics later x PS look what we missed on TV last night.
