At this point I just decided to go into the small cafe and order – you guessed it – a karak chai! It was a lovely little shop to sit inside and it was so peaceful. The chai was delicious too. The two gentlemen who were running the cafe were both Bengali and I tried to make small conversation. They did actually give me a date wrapped up in a plastic bag which was really lovely.
Looking outside the cafe I did see some people walk up towards the mountain. This included some camels with children on them! I’m not sure where the camels were coming from but it was a sight to see!
There wasn’t anywhere where I could really do any shopping. I’ll be really truthful, I messed up big time with the Uhud Mountain. I don’t think I went to the right place and had I been more specific to the Uber driver, I would’ve had a better experience.
I went back towards the car turnstiles where I booked an uber to take me back to my hotel. This arrived relatively quickly and as the car was taking me down, there were a lot of green spaces and parks on the side of the road. I was so disappointed with myself – how could I have missed this and not gone further down. I would have loved to have taken a walk there.
I do enjoy grounding – walking barefoot – in a park. I find it really enjoyable and this would have been somewhere to do this on my trip.
