Day 290 : Travel to Agra


Had breakfast then walked to the bus station. Took a very rickety bus to Agra – the side of the bus looked like it was about to fall off at any point. Got stuck in a bit of a jam (was amazed at how the buffalo that was in a trailer in front of us was so calm and nonchalant).

Checked into our home stay in Agra which is a lovely posh home owned by an Indian family. Went for lunch in a place that does special ice-cream. Went to a rooftop cafe in the evening and saw our first view of the Taj Mahal which was absolutely stunning. Watched the full moon rise then made our way back in an auto rickshaw getting stuck in yet another procession (probably another wedding celebration).

Met a nice couple from Canada and had a chat with one of the homestay brothers.
