Here I am in Agra (city where the Taj Mahal is). The course finished at noon today, then I took the train from Delhi to Agra. Much better than my first Indian rail experience 3 years ago (hints: don’t go at night and book tickets in advance!).
My first impression of Agra is that it is crazy busy. Pretty much like downtown Delhi, but maybe with windier streets. I met a couple from Vancouver at my hotel tonight, so enjoyed chatting and sharing travel tales. Thank god I am out of Noida, where I was probably the only tourist within 5kms. Made for long evenings and nights in my sketchy guesthouse!
Some photos:
– the awesome women’s only berths on the metro in Delhi
– a guy at the train station who fixes zippers on suitcases. Why don’t we have these guys around all transportation hubs at home??
– a couple random shots
…drumroll please…
– my first view of the Taj from the rooftop restaurant at my hotel. I’m going to see it at sunrise tomorrow!
RobO starts his journey to meet me today! Can’t wait!
