Day 3: 17th KIP Mall/temple/disco
30th April 2011 | Saturday
Today we had a day off (probably because it is a Saturday) and so we went to visit Select City Walk Mall in Delhi. It was a very huge mall (since the only mall I had visited in Fiji is just 3 floors and can be covered in less than an hour). This one was huge and we only checked out one Wing!!
Later in the afternoon we visited the Akshardham temple. It was a such a wonderful temple to visit. we were not allowed to take cameras and cell fones inside the temple so could not take pictures there. And it was one of those places where I wish I could take pictures with my Eyes. Sigh. . . I learnt a little about the vedics and there way of life. We took a short boat ride inside a very well structured building. It was a tour of how the vedics were the first gurus and how medicine, astrology, physics, wars and settlements came about in India. We stayed at the temple till the evening and saw a light show there as well.
When we got back to the hotel we were all very tired. But we all turned into energetic monkeys once we were told that a 'disco evening' had been arranged for us. A dinning room was set out as a disco floor with a DJ and disco lights. The food was yum! and the music was awesome.
At midnight we celebrated my favorite Peruvians birthday. Aarti's first birthday away from home and I am glad we made it a memorable one for her. Cake. Candles. Birthday song - the works.
It was a great day :-)
