... Jaipur welcomed us with massive pink fort and tons of elephants...big creatures with delicate skin and beautiful eyes...Agra 6 hours away was our next destination, known of magic Taj Mahall (magic indeed)...6 hours on the crazy road next to lazy cows chilling on the road, camels carrying anything you can imagine, speeding overloaded tracks (manage to see 3 in the ditch) and all that is admired by sneaky looking monkey next to the road, the only way to peace my mind was to look towards horizon and watch colorful ladies working in the fields. Finally AGRA...Taj Mahal blow our minds... strong but delicate; rich with taste but modest; peaceful as powerful... spend good 4 hours wondering around...
...On the way to Agra Fort, which is another well known destination in Agra, got to know 2 funny rickshas (not sure about spelling) spent most of the afternoon on their falling apart bikes (Indian Helicopters as they claimed) In the end of the day one of the brother got drunk and manage to fell from the bike and all what I saw was him under his helicopter. He was fine and we all had good laugh. From that on guess who was doing all the biking ? :)
Have few hours to kill before our next trip, this time overnight train to Varanassi...
Thank you John for a sweet comment, yes no Chicken butter for us in fact we became vegetarians but just while traveling...will catch up with some chicken back home.
