On to Jaipur

At last a decent interent connection - so there are now a couple of photos on the earlier posts.  Particularly me giving Polio drops. 

Today we left our hotel in Agra at 8am.  Our first visit was to the Fort which was very quiet that early so it was a great visit.  Then we went on to Fatehpur Sikri - the ghost city - which again was very intereting.  After the inevitable visit to a workshop and emporium we arrived at our hotel in time for dinner.

Taj Mahal

Yesterday we travelled from Delhi to Agra to see the Taj Mahal.  It was a very long journey that should have lasted about four and a half hours and was nearer six and a half.  However it meant that our visit to the Taj Mahal didn’t start until 5pm and finished as the sun started to set just after 6pm.  It was beautiful!  Well worth the lovely orange overshoes we had to wear to get inside.
