We left Jaipur early and left for Rhanthambore! The four hour journey in the taxis was not appreciated since the roads seemed only suitable for off road vehicles, plus we seemed to be travelling to somewhere in the middle of nowhere, so there was little to gaze at. We eventually arrived in Bundhi battered and bruised, however on arrival we were welcomed with a standard Bindi (third eye (dot on your forehead)) this perked us up a bit, along with the thought we co...

Up early again today! We took formula 1 tuk tuk's to the Monkey temple. Funnily enough we were greeted with a temple swarmed with monkeys. Previously unmentioned was Emily's encounter with a monkey in Delhi. She succeeded in annoying the monkey when she approached it with her camera "ahhh look at the cute little monkey!" I could see why the monkey had issues with this. Anyway, the temple was very interesting. The monkeys were fairly tame and the temple ...

We had breakfast overlooking our kingdom. Incredible photos will be up the prove this. Then we had another Taxi journey to Jaipur! First thing was the Amber fort in 40 something degree heat. Many were ill, including Emily who had then been suffering from Delhi Belly for nearly a week! The tour round the Amber Fort was a real struggle. It was done in near silence, and it was apparent the moral of the group was at an all time low. It didn't help that the guide was ...

Early early morning. The group was up and queuing at the taj by 5.45am. We had a nice scenic, quiet, cow pat minefield stroll along the high street to get there. I think it is fair to say Agra was not impressing us. Highlight of the morning until then was a member of the Taj staff putting a sign with "queue for Indians" in front of me... There was a communal laugh. Immature if I say so myself... We were first into the ground of the taj mahal. Literally ...

Another early morning this morning. But this was probably the most exciting destination. Probably because it is the only place where we knew what we were about to see. The train to Agra took close to two hours to get there. We were taken to our hotel to drop off our stuff before a day of sight seeing. The hotel had a "view" of the Taj Mahal on the dining rooftop. Barely. First was the Red Fort. This was amaaazing. We got a guided tour from a local aswe...
