Shalimar Gardens Srinagar

Woken by call to prayer at 5 am. It lasted 3/4 of an hour.

Busy day
Fortress on hill
Sikh temple
Hindu temple
Old town, lovely intricately carved old houses
2 very old mosques, one simple, one highly ornate with lacquer work outside
Lunch, very tasty
2 gardens, mogul and Shalimar, Persian style, fountains and running water, young girls running in it. Giant dahlias, roses
Then carpet shop. Got 3 scarves, one wool, one silk, one wool silk mix
Back at 6, nice dinner

I made a mistake with the back blipping so hope I can rectify it - I missed out 2 days somewhere!
