We have arrived safely in Agra and its my Birthday! It is definitely a birthday I will never forget.
My birthday kicked off in style, with an amazing day at the Radisson Blu New Dehli, and I have to say although we may have backpacks on our backs, we like luxury.
I had the perfect pre-birthday, with a rooftop swim and jacuzzi followed by cocktails and dinner. I have to say us and 5* go well together so a big thank you to Mama P!
My actually birthday, was an....experience. After reluctantly saying goodbye to the very nice hotel, we headed to Delhi train station...it was terrifying! After much panic and confusion we found our platform with our train, with no help as no one spoke English we were safe. Turns out that was the easy bit.
After 5 mins of trying to get on our train, through crying, pushing and shoving (and LG almost being pushed off the train) we found our seats and the fun began.
We were possibly in the Lowest class of seat we could of been, a bench surrounded by men and no AC - I'm not gonna lie we were scared, especially after being told Delhi was not safe. Luckily a lovely old English speaking man calmed our nerves and we were on our way to Agra. Somehow through a lot of heat panic and sweat we made it!
We are now here safely, with a birthday Maccy D's and beer in our belly and having survived our first tuk tul ride, we are finally calm and relaxed.
Goodbye 5* comfort, hello real backpacking!
Miss you all, but the girls are making me feel very special!
