Had a 6am start this morning to go and see the sunrise at the Taj Mahal which was well worth it. Had a nice wander around as there were hardly any other tourists so early and took loads of photos. Even had one on the Princess Diana seat! Our next visit was to the Agra Fort which again was almost tourist free. We were then on our way back to Delhi which I am ashamed to say we are looking forward to almost as much as the sightseeing as anything can and will happen! We were not dissappointed as it was another eventful drive with plenty of tooting and shouting. We did find out today though that the only thing the traffic stops for is a burial parade (they just walk right across the motorway carrying the body on a stretcher!) Now despite the seeming lack of order and overcrowding in the vehicles we have only seen two accidents since we have been here neither of which was serious which is testament to the Indians excellent driving skills. You not only have to look front, back, left and right but it is quite common to have vehicles driving down the motorway the wrong way (although to be fair they normally flash their lights in warning!!)
