Before we move onto 'The Pink City', (Jaipur) we would like to say a little more about Agra. We saw the baby Taj, you guessed, like the Taj but very much smaller.
Went to Agra fort, the Red. Occupied/owned by lots of different people over time. One such owner had a harem of over 5000. He died in his thirties. Quite frankly I'm not surprised!!
Had a great afternoon/early evening in nature park/gardens that has great views of the Taj.

Our accommodation was a little trying in the end. Rooms very hot. Constant scratching, our first encounter with bed bugs, we think. Fortunately no sign if lice.
Mikes first encounter with 'Delhi Belly'. Oh what fun. (You might want to imagine/visualise this, or not).
He was surprised to find that for very little effort a surprising amount of downward thrust was produced when the bowel suddenly emptied. Now remember his wish to buy a jet pack? Well he imagined a couple of helium balloons and a strapped on funnel; point down for vertical momentum and horizontal for lateral. Rather like a water fueled rocket, you know, the ones you pump up! Fuel would be a diet of dates and custard...
Unfortunately he was better the next day.

Leave you with a picture of Mike and Yvonne in their new jobs. The Taj Mahal from the park at dusk.
