Destination:
India – Uttar Pradesh –
Agra – of course you
have to see the Taj Mahal!
We take a
midmorning train from Delhi to Agra. Nice, easy and quick ride. Get to Agra in
the afternoon and checked into the Tourist Rest House. Kind of a hostel with
very helpful staff (no worries chicken curry is the word) and the more
expensive rooms are quite OK. We decide to splurge a bit and go for
lunch/dinner at the “Pinch of Spices restaurant. The food is really awesome
and the place, service, portion size, just add to the experience. Off to sleep
on a tummy full of butter chicken and lamb rogan josh.
The next
morning we wake up early to get to the Taj Mahal before the crowds and buses
take over the place. We got plenty of pics of the Taj Mahal, so you can take a
peek for yourself. It’s really a fantastic building with a romantic love story
to go with it. After the Taj Mahal, we
go to visit the Red Fort, again, awesome construction in very good condition,
with pics for you guys to enjoy. In the evening we take the train to Varanasi,
but that’s another story.
