How do you like the snazzy panorama picture of the Taj? Yes we took this with our new camera...not bad eh for amateurs? Our 2 hour train journey from Delhi to Agra (home of the Taj Mahal) was very classy with us being served a pot of tea each, newspapers, breakfast and even chocolate éclair sweets.

Pretty spectacular!
Hi, great to have you back again. Stubbled across your blogs when you were in Thailand (I think!). We did the SE Asia thing a couple of years ago and did this blog thing, so I like to keep up to date. Anyhow, amazing photos..the Taj looks sooo surreal. Would love to do India (but with a 1 year old, it might take us a while...). Keep the stories coming! Karen

The adventure continues...
First off, I would like to know what you guys do for work because I need to have a vacation time and a salary to match to take me to all the places you guys have gone and are going to...

Planning to go there myself for, yes, a spiritual journey. Should I go? Of course, I'd be eating pizza and pancakes still...

beautiful pictures
I've been following your blogs off and on for over a year now, and they are always entertaining. Glad to see you're having a great time in India... and these pictures of the Taj are amazing... The panorama is great as well... some of the views are unique, and ones that I've never seen before. Best wishes!
