Taj Mahal
View from across river

Today we were away at 5.45am to see the sunrise over the Taj Mahal. This was well worth the effort and we saw all the different colours and all the views before it got too busy and too hot. It was already about 40 degrees and rose to 43. The Sikandra was the next palce to visit with our very knowledgable tour guide. Back at Holiday Inn Hotel for early afternoon and a swim in the pool before a light lunch. The evening was spent touring the streets to see the poor people and see how India lives. Had a ride in a bicycle rickshaw. Jeff gave 100 rupees to a family living on the pavement, only to see father using it to buy cigarettes.
