Well towards the end of the day we get a little time to wander and Mike and I decide to go and find a place out book says should be on everyone’s list of thinks to see but not it appears on ours. it is called Chor Minor Madrassah
Mike as always has a map and a compass so all is well (sort of) between us we sometimes have difficulty agreeing exactly which corner to turn on but as always Mike is right (as always) although even he has some doubts and we stop to ask a local who is just hanging around and he takes us this way and that down the warren of back streets and along suddenly we turn a corner an there it is
The name of this Monument is translated as “four minarets”, but it will be mistake to consider it the mosque as the minarets do not perform their intended functions, and are just the architectural experiment.
There are no more similar buildings in Asia. Built in 1807, the building was just the entrance into the more grand construction, which supposedly was the Madrassa, although some guides will say that it might have been a huge library.
It is quite picturesque and as the sun is going down we take a couple of quick shots and head back to the hotel feeling quite pleased with ourselves.
Finding our way back was almost as difficult but we did see some interesting sites as we wandered around
The following morning we are told that as we are leaving the hotel we will be making one more stop at a place called Chor Minor Madrassah DOH!!!!!!!! so into the coach and 3 minutes later we are there a side entry gives us almost instant access and no need for all the back alleys we used last night Double Doh !!!!
Everything exactly as we had left it apart from the sun being on the other
