December in India, Part 2

December 18 - Riding the Ho-ho Bus in Delhi

Humayun's Tomb

On Wednesday Morning we took a Tuk-tuk from our hotel to Gurudwara Bangla Sahib Marg, which is a radial road that runs southwest from Connaught Place / Rajiv Chowk.  We caught the Hop-On Hop-Off Bus there.  Given the traffic in Delhi, this turned out not to be such a good deal.  For the same price as two Ho-Ho Bus tickets we could've rented a car and driver for the day.  We rode the bus from there to the Red Fort.  But because we'd been inside the day before, we visited the Jain temple across the street.  Then we walked along Chandni Chowk westward and toured the Sikh temple, Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib.

From the Red Fort we rode the Ho-Ho Bus to the India Gate and then on to Humayun's Tomb.

 After this we took another tuk-tuk ride back to our hotel and had a late lunch.  In the evening we went to the Sound and Light Show at the Red Fort.  We made arrangements for a guide and dinner via Viator.com.  They picked us up in a car and then took us to dinner at a very nice place after the show was over.  The show itself was not all that impressive, but it was an interesting way to learn about the history of the Red Fort and Delhi.
