The following day we browsed the shops and then went for food at a swanky hotel with panoramic views over the green city. We had a super Chinese and had about 5 waiters dressed in bow ties at our service. The manager kept coming over and told his staff to fetch us nuts and popadoms - what service! They even dished it on to your plate and topped up your drink for you! Two mains, beer, water and a mojito, all for 15 quid - expensive by Indian standards! Outside the hotel we caught the double decker sightseeing bus - we had it all to ourselves for 2 quid. The driver and his lovely mate took us round the sights where we hopped off for 30mins at each place. We visited the rose garden with 845 varieties of rose, although most had already flowered. We then went to a memorial garden, with the names of local men who had died in various wars. We visited the art museum and took advantage of the fans to cool off. We were not used to the heat after being in the mountains. Next was the nek chand rock garden - the most incredible secret garden built from recycled materials, all created by one man. It had secret paths, over 2000 sculptures, a waterfall, cool pink and purple dragonflies and crazy small doorways. Finally we visited the lake, where you could hire pedalos. Hugo tried coconut water but wasn't a fan of the salty liquid. Thinking I was wiser, I tried a mixed fruit juice, but it was equally horrible. We went back to the main square and went to India's answer to McDonald's, Hot Millions, after our expensive lunch. It wasn't great, but what do you expect when a pizza is 90p. Chandigarh was designed by a Swiss architect, and as a result has roundabouts and traffic lights! The following morning we caught the train to ambala and waited on the platform for two hours for our next train. We were hassled by people trying to sell us zips, and I got really tired of the starring. Previously I had been quite obliging, smiling and posing for photographs, but growing more impatient, I changed tactic and decided to stare them out until they turned away. One woman in a lilac sari was particularly good at the game, but I wasn't going to be defeated. Now they are getting a taste of their own medicine. Eventually we boarded the train and four hours later arrived into Rishikesh.
