when we were driving from Delhi to Agra ...
A few good bookshops at the Khan Market in Delhi which was our first stop on our road trip
A scooter with three adults and three kids and luggage on it. One of the kids was asleep on the front and one of the women was breastfeeding her baby as they went along.
A bus on fire.
A tractor with a load as wide as two lanes. A huge load of wheat chaff which had split and spilt across the highway.
A horse and cart.
A buffalo and cart.
A cow and cart.
A milkman - the guy on the scooter with about 20 stainless steel jugs hanging off him.
Cars, buses, scooters going the wrong way up the highway.
At the end of a lane, the magnificent Taj Mahal. We were the only ones there watching the sun set on the Taj across the river.
India is an assault on the senses - all the senses. It is hard sometimes to cope and be patient but is worth it. We arrived here on Saturday from kathmandu and had a wonderful day doing some of the big sights in Delhi in a tuk tuk. When we realised that we couldn't get on the train to Agra, we booked a car and driver through our hotel and are really glad we did. We have had a wonderful day. Considering the fact that is is at least 45 degrees here travelling has the potential to be nightmarish but with our very considerate driver we have thoroughly enjoyed a lazy drive down from Delhi to Agra. Tomorrow morning we are going to the Taj for sunrise and are really looking forward to that.
We are both feeling much better after quite a rocky time in Nepal. Even John is enjoying the Indian food though we are not eating too much and giving our stomachs a chance to recover.
Hope all is well at home. Missing everyone.
