Day two and we hired a car and driver for the day, visiting places suggested to us by our hostess at the hotel.
 |
| First stop, the beautiful Lotus Temple |
 |
| No interior photos out of respect... |
 |
| ...but what a a calm, peaceful atmosphere inside and out. |

Another beautiful spot was Humayun's Tomb, the resting place of the 16th century Mughal emperor.
 |
| The entrance to the grounds of Humayun's Tomb... |
 |
| ...which predates the Taj Mahal, and was obviously an influence. |
 |
| The sarcophagus takes centre stage in the very empty building. The grave itself is unvisited, on a lower floor. |
 |
| Don't forget to look up... |
 |
| ...and out! |
 |
| We walked round the gardens, |
 |
| watching the workers |
 |
| and other visitors shading under the trees. |
