Hello blog lovers
So we got out of Delhi pretty sharpish - possibly the busiest place in the world/dirtiest! Good news is that there is no Delhi Belly to report!
We headed to Agra which was a bit of a treck and it seemed to take 3 hrs to get out of Delhi, but when we did hit the highway we saw/overtook some interesting sights inc...
- a camel
- sheep grazing on the central reservation
- houndreds of cows
- lorries driving the wrong way down the outside lane
- horsedrawn carts
- 4 people on a moped
- bicycles
- people crossing the road without looking....etc
Agra is the home of the Taj Mahal - a pretty impressive site and takn loads of pictures. Definately worth the trials of gettng there!!! Also hit loads of shops and learned how to say "we don't want t buy anything" in about 99 different ways, although Carrie has bought a couple of things. Good luck carrying those marble cosaters for the next 5 months is all I can say!
After seeing the impressive Agra Fort we heading into Rajestan which is a lot nicer and the roads are
much better - only seen 1 camel so far on the motorway, but did see 2 elephants on the high street! We have been in Jaipur for the last 2 days - the Pink City. Lots of sight seeing today and even went to see how block printing is done (not worth a visit if you are ever in the area). Last night went to an authentic India village - not sure they have plastic elephants in rural India but it was still pretty good just for the food! We got over the plastic elephant today as we had a ride on a real one...not the comfiest form of transport but an experience.
Chilling out tonight and heading to Mandave tomorrow - I am sure you all know that it is famous for wall paintings - whoop. Just there for one night then off to the desert for a camel safari and camp!!!
Anyway - off for tea now - lets see if Carrie has progressed from kormas!!!
Until next time...the Beaumonts
