Dehli by Jack

Delhi by Jack

On the second day in Delhi we went to Humayans tomb in New Delhi. It was the first tomb that we went to. It was the first emporer of Delhi out of seven to have a tomb built. (The Taj Mahal was the second). The tomb took nine years to build. After those nine years had ended, the wife slaughtered the architect so that he doesn’t build another tomb like that one.

The next day we went to the Red Fort in Old Delhi. We went into the museum and saw weapons like machine guns on stands, spears, guns and bow and arrows that protected the Red Fort from destruction from the enemies. There were markets inside where we entered. Max bought a cannon and I bought two swords and a shield that had a nice pattern.

 After Dehli we drove to Agra to see the Taj Mahal. It was a really long drive but it was worth it. An interesting fact was that the Taj Mahal was covered in jewels but over the years people stole them. Mum got angry with this Indian woman when she kept trying all the time to push in front of us in the line.

On the way back to Delhi the driver took a few wrong turns and we got lost in some alley ways. There were a lot of pigs, cows and dogs, cars, traffic, and heaps of rubbish and mud! I called it Pivin (pig heaven), because there were mostly pigs and they were eating the rubbish and playing in the mud.
