Old Dhaka - Lalbagh, Armenian Church and Star Mosque

After the market, more cultural pursuits, and we set off to visit Lalbagh Fort

sour plums - cut open like flowers, and sprinkled with chilli powder for a snack

The fort
sadly though it was closed as it was a public holiday



 but we went to get a view - by the adjoining mosque

to be honest we really enjoyed watching the boys and young men playing with kites, and cricket far more than seeing an old building!




 
by the time we came out - lots more fruit flowers!


Armenian Church - an Oasis of calm and shade (plus an all important loo stop)



Closeby was the Star Mosque - a sight to see since most mosques are so plain.
