Hey, We went to Agra yesterday afternoon after a long car journey and went to Agra Fort. Nice place but Sam nearly punched one of the guides who wouldn't leave us alone and followed us the whole way around. We then went to our hotel 'Hotel Royal Residency', bit of a let down after what we were used to in Jaipur. This morning we got up for 7:30AM to leave for the Taj Mahal, at long last! we had a tour guide provided by our tour company who told us everything about it, it has been the highlight of India. We got some really good pictures which we will prob add tomorrow as we have lots of spare time.
For the third day running after we had seen the major monuments, we were swifly ushered to our third 'showroom factory' Today was the marble factory. After explaining a few brief details, and offered to look around, they try their hardest to pressure you to buy something, and it's very awkward when you are the only people there and they don't take no for an answer. We have had previously textiles and gems showrooms. Very awkward couldn't wait to leave.
We now have two days left in India, and we leave for Bangkok on Monday night. Looking forward to it.
