The train to Agra was....interesting. And something we never need to repeat again, but McDonald's that evening made everything better - who knew the Indian Big Mac was the McMaharaja!
After a well deserved beer and sleep, we woke up early for our day tour of Agra, starting with the Big T - Taj Mahal.
From my own point of view the Taj hasn't changed much in 5 years, and the girls who knew it would be amazing. We were not underwhelmed but at the same time not surprised by its beauty. In our opinion, the view of it from the other side was far more breath-taking, easier on the wallet and far quicker to get into - who knew being a white women put you to the back of the queue?!
After the Taj, we had some food and a nap (6am is very early to get up, especially when prayer calls wake you up!) then it was off to the red fort, which was well...big and red. By the time we hit the mini mahal, tiredness and insanity had hit, and we had great run dancing around it whilst rapping thrift shop - parents google it!
Agra something you should see, but trust us, you do not need longer than a day! You can easily be carted around to all the sights by a taxi driver in the day, eat sleep and move on the next day. We do recommend though not returning to Delhi ( see previous post) but instead fly directly down south - if your like us and want to see Kerala.
We will fill you in on this amazing area in the next post - in our opinion India's far better side.
