Agra

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

It was worth getting up at 5am to catch the sunrise.

So awe-inspiring some people just pass out.

Matt’s head is still stuck at that angle.

Monkey!

Another monkey!

The Red Fort – probably the biggest castle we’ve ever seen.

Jenny has superstar status here. She ended up posing for photos with about 5 random different families.

Salim the 4th, our friendly cycle-rickshaw driver. Every time we arrive somewhere we end up getting a rickshaw driver called Salim who tries to charm us into going to lots of shops. We haven’t actually had one who isn’t called Salim yet. This one was really nice though (he didn’t stop smiling except for the photo) and he let Matt have a go at driving.

On the train

Jaipur – Agra train. We bumped into someone from my old chemistry lab which was random – the only other westerners on the train.

Fortunately we didn’t have to do this.

This is what the train looks like. At nighttime they bring sheets and blankets and pillows, there’s two more bunks at the top.
