Red Fort, New Delhi

Yesterday we got on a night bus from Manali to New Delhi. This is the first night bus I have been on that I can remember. I went to sleep and dreamt that Indian people stopped looking at me, but today, they didnt stop looking at me.
Today we went to the Red Fort by Autorickshaw, the ride was great! The traffic was really really very bad, but we hopped in and out of it.
The Red Fort was very hot in the sun. A Murghal built it 400 years ago. Then a few hundred years later the English came in after it had been ruined, and now it's just full of tourists.
The best bit was seeing the emperors throne.
On the way back to the hotel we saw a big religious parade, and we saw Hanuman ( Hindu lord Hanuman is a god and the son of Shiva, and he has a monkeys tail and head and a mans body. )
A shopkeeper kindly gave me a small statue of Hanuman.
