With our shopping in Jaipur behind us, it was time to make our way back to Delhi, the city where the whole trip began. Now I have to admit, by day 6 the things that were shocking to me on the first day became nothing but "the norm" and my camera saw less and less use. In fact, I don't think I took a single picture during our long bus ride back!
For day 7 (our last full day in India) we decided to spend the first half of the day doing what any woman would do when they have some free time...shop! Now that we'd seen everything that India had to offer, it was our final chance to buy the things we'd passed on in the days before. In just one day, my previously light suitcase suddenly got a lot more heavy! :)
Our final site seeing stop of the entire trip was the Gandhi Museum...the very place that Gandhi was assassinated...
Gandhi spent the last days of his life in this room.
There were foot prints leading to the site of Gandhi's assassination with signs walking us through the last moments of his life.
The place that Gandhi was shot and killed.
And that was the trip! It was truly over in the blink of an eye. In fact, a few days after I returned to Singapore I caught myself thinking "Wait, was I in India last week?" I think my senses were so over loaded while I was there that I didn't have a chance to stop and think about it. Well, I've certainly thought of it since then and I will be forever thankful that I had the opportunity to go! If you ever have a chance to go, take it! It may be the most stressful trip of your life, but it will also be one of the best!
