Up early again for breakfast, very poor breakfast with no real quality, depart at 8am.After tackling the traffic congestion headed a local Agra craft workshop to look at how marble inlay is done. Also selling the beautiful work, table tops, elephants etc. Very interesting but expensive. Connie bought a small marble elephant.
Then headed for ancient Mughal capital of Fatehpur Sikri (the City of Victory) , stop here for 1.5 hours to view the Palace. This was built in 1500s when the Mughal decided to leave Agra. Built of red sandstone with large open courtyards and private residences for the king, separate residences for his wives & princesses. Eventually abandoned due to lack of water and secluded from the rest of India.
On our way to Jaipur, stopped for light lunch at hotel resort, quite good as we were hungry after poor breakfast. Staying at Le Meridian, Jaipur 2 nights, free night to catch up on essentials.
