Brenton Kovacs's Travels
25th
The guide and driver collect us at 9am and we are off to the fort. it is very foggy this morning and very cold, about 9 degrees. Not anywhere near as impressive as the Taj. We spend about an hour here before visiting a marble shop. Some of the stuff is beautiful, but we dont buy anything. Now our guide bids us farwel and we are on the last leg of the tour, Agra to Delhi. Its 200ks, about 3 hours. For mots of the drive we are on the Taj Express, a toll road, so the traffic is very civilised for a change.
I decided to stay near the airport for our last night in India. Had a lot to do with the Obama visit closing roads etc, plus its a holiday here tomorrow, plus the congestion on the roads could mean we miss our flight if we stayed in Delhi. So we arrive at the Holiday Inn, about 4 ks from the Airport. We bid our driver farwell and offer him a tip for his services.
Once we are in the hotel lobby i feel very relived that we have made it. 15 days in India without having an accident or getting sick. What a great feeling. I now feel a sense of accomplishment and so does Shauna.
Tomorrow we fly out to Dubai
