Mendhi at the market

We stepped out into the heat this morning hungry for breakkie. 

The Smoke House didn't disappoint.
Best coffee in ages!!
Fredster's Salmon and philli omelette.
Elliot's egg.
Then a stroll around Hauz Khas Park.




Er, translate to 'be in a sweaty mess even though we are hardly moving!'

Too much movement!


This park is beautiful, really well kept.



Back for our usual cool down and then off again to Dilli Haat Market.
It's fab, no crowds, no pushing and just a little bit of friendly bartering.
Freddy gets henna.
El goes for it too.
Mark could not be persuaded.
Mendhi Hands.
Dilli Haat stage.
On the walk home there are dogs everywhere.

The dogs in the park dig holes to lie in. 
Deer Park.

Hauz Khas Village.
Happy hands.

      It certainly was a really relaxed day and was funny that both the park and market had so few people. Maybe it was to do with the bird that pooped on my head! At the market I asked Mark if he had anything to take home from India, he said 'what, besides dyssentry?' ha ha ha!!
