The day we TRIED to see Hauz Khas

If your family is like our family, the weekends often bring discord.

The Queen of the House wants to get out, see the sights, DO something.  The King of the House would rather veg at home, play some video games, watch some tv and do a whole lot of nothing.

A weekend ago or so, I successfully convinced my Husb to take the family out, and we decided on Hauz Khas.  It is described by all as a beautiful, romantic, fun place to roam around, complete with a water tank, tomb and a mosque.

Where we ended up, however, was not quite Hauz Khas.  We had Todd's driver that day and he didn't seem very sure of himself when we asked him to take us to Hauz Khas.  Where did we end up instead?




Because my family are full of troopers, we ended up having a great time - in spit of the change of locale - and we spent an hour or two walking through the park, hoping to eventually end up in our original destination.

We participated in the exercises strewn throughout the park ::



We were pleasantly surprised with our biggest little's attitude throughout the afternoon ::



We saw loads of peacocks, which I was surprised to learn are the national birds of India :: 




Fought off mosquitos at these breeding grounds ::



And saw some pretty cool ruins ... just hangin' out discreetly in the middle of the park ::




All in all, a pretty cool afternoon!

If you decide to venture to Deer Park, pack a picnic lunch, and loads of bug spray!
