It was a 5hr journey to Agra from Jaipur. First stop lunch and we shared a Talli which was amazing and headed for the Taj Mahal. We had to pay tourist price which was Rps 750 each (local price Rps 10). With this you get a free bottle of water and paper shoes (it’s not actually free as you pay for it in the Rps750). The Taj Mahal was beautiful and the gardens amazing. After and 1.5hrs of walking around we got a rickshaw back to Bupesh. I felt really bad as the rickshaw/cyclist was my height but smaller is size and he had to cycle up hill with me and Craig in the rickshaw (at times I want to get out and help him). When we got back to Bupesh some small children were crying and begging which got me very very upset....one of the saddest things I have ever seen. I was defiantly ready to go back to the hostel. Good night sleep was in order as we had to get up at 8:00am for another 5.5hr journey back to Delhi..
