Today we headed out to see the local sights in Savar. The National Martyr's Monument (a short bus ride away from CRP) commemorates the millions of people who lost their lives during the Liberation War. The war ended with Bangladesh (or East Pakistan as it was before the war) gaining independence from Pakistan.
Many of the people are buried in pristinely manicured mass graves which surround the monument.
It appears that some of the other visitors to the monument prefer their photographs to include foreigners.
After stopping for a refreshing drink we headed back to Savar Bazar, where we picked up some Tundoor (naan bread), for breakfast tomorrow.
