If you have ever watched the Amazing Race you will know the day that Kit and I had shopping. Our taxi driver got lost and we ended up on teh opposite ened of where we wanted to be and ended up walking through the some of the streets of old Delhi. It put your senses to the test between watching where your footing, watching your bag and the action and odours.. you found your head spinning. We ended up grabbing a bicycle rickshaw and it was much nicer. We ended our day with mendhi... we negotiated the price, got the henna on our hands and the ladies cahnged their price. It is the first time that we have been out and out lied to... not bad for a one month stay in India. The henna goes on and must stay on your skin for one hour. Then you have to scrape it off and not wach for one evening. The henna dies your skin an orange color that keeps getting darker. It is a chocolate brown color right now and will last a couple of weeks. It is wedding henna. Brides get it done on their hands and feet before they get married.
