I think 3 nights is plenty in Srinagar,
maybe 2 days in winter because everyone here has told us not to
bother with the gardens being out bloom. Today we decided to go to
the town to buy some traditional souvenirs, saffron and spices.
It seemed like my camera was attracting
a bit of attention, and so my sister had sent me to sit across the
road everytime she went into a pashmina shop. As you can see the
photos I took while waiting, again in India, you could just sit and
snap away randomly with your eyes closed for a memorycard filled with
the most amazing shots ever.
Local supermarket!
It is probably the oldest market i've
been to in the world which services its local community, there are no
supermarkets here, so there is no other source of getting groceries.
A contrast to the olde world is the trendy “cafe coffee day”
coffee shop, which seems to also have branches across India and still
manages to maintain very affordable prices. It seemed to attract the
trendy(or so they thought still in traditional garb) who spend their
afternoon gossiping over coffee, me trigger happy but these patrons
did not seem pleased at my taking pictures of the witty comments on
the walls.
No idea what this means? Running man in Shawl!?
