Still on big sis visit , but then there is a lot of piccies to upload
Took a trip to Agra, taxi there and back takes 3 and a half hours each way and I was sure we were going to die on the trip back in the dark , seen everything possible that anyone can think of called transport, feet, bicycles, cows, bull, camels , elephants,carts, cycle rickshaw, mopeds, motor rickshaw, buses, lorries, taxis, cars , trains, but surprisingly no planes, not bad considering there is no side of the raod that people drive on in the dark windey trip back!!!!
Surprising though only saw two trucks and one trashed car , must be the expert driving techniques , would beat the Go-Karters iI know, so you will have to keep practicing Denis before you are out here.
Next time we will book the train.
Ahh back to Agra, now what's there for all you students and culture vultures
The Taj, nice, no really nice and not too busy
Then off to the Red Fort to search out more Mohguls , only found these , anyone missing from the UK as they had no passports?
Got a good guide to show us both places for 100 spondoolies ( naughtical saying for all you philastines out there) Very grand and lots of inlaid marble in the palaces.
The scale these people built is impressive, worth the trip.
Shah Jahan built these for his ladies. He also used to play something like backgammon using the ladies a pieces , always a whole one though.
Lunch of cottage cheese curry and nan , yum yum I can just feel the lbs falling away. I hope
Namaste
Next our Delhi itvar ya ravivar out with Sadeep to show us the way.
