Today we went to the Taj Mahal. We went early to avoid the masses and hopefully see the sunrise. Unfortunately it was very overcast and raining so there was no sun to be seen. We did, however, get some amazing pictures. We had a very knowledgeable guide called Pravin who told us about the history. He was good but talked continually in broken English and we only understood about half of what he said.
This afternoon we traveled to Jaipur. Just arrived and very impressed with our rather swanky hotel. This luxury won't last long.
Jaipur seems a lot cleaner than Delhi and Agra but we're yet to explore properly. We are staying in Jaipur for two days and this evening we are going to the old Fort on camel back and have a new guide called Himanshu. On Saturday we will be heading to Bikaner.
Hope all is well at home. Thanks for the messages - good to hear from you all.
Lots of Love

Glad to hear that you are getting some luxury here and there!! Be careful not to fall off the camels, and I hope the saddle things are not too thin!!!!! Rubbish about it being overcast - thought you were supposed to be chasing the sun, not scaring it away!
ReplyDeleteLots of love to you both
