We spent day 2 of our time in India touring around New Delhi in typical Indian style; on a Tuk Tuk!
We visited one of the towns famous tombs, called Humayun's tomb. He was one of the emperor's in Delhi long ago, and the tomb was commissioned by his wife upon his death. There are several smaller tombs leading up to it which were used to house other family members after their deaths.
This was the first structure to use red sandstone at such a scale and has been named one of UNESCO World Heritage Site's.
