Our last stop in Northern India was Agra. Here there wasn't actually that much to do other than see the Taj which was incredibleeeeee. We met the funniest travellers, Paula (a little chinese girl) and Vlad (a big russian man) who'd met at a train station and decided to continue their travels together as they were alone.
Here the idea of 'project refund' began, as our taxi driver stressed us out by saying that we only had 10% chance of our ovenight train ticket to Mumbai turning up at the hotel. Apparently the tour company previously conned a girl, so we massively freaked out. We decided we might travel back to Delhi in a rage to beat up the tour man and get a full refund. However, unfortunately our train tickets arrived, which meant we didnt have an leg to stand on. So when Marsh rang up anyway to still try and get a refund it was unsuccessful :(
So with a lack of spending money left for our time in India, we left Agra and waited alone at the Muthura train station... Ooooo my lordddd, it was the most surreal/stressful experience. Typical our train was the only one NOT showing on the board.. So on top of trying to find the platform and freaking out about our train not arriving, we had to endure snotty nosed cows rubbing their noses on charlie's shoulder and trying to eat our crisps, keeping an eye on our bags while their were lots of children asking for money and literally being stared at the entire time by EVERYONE at the station.
We luckily got the train with some help from lovely locals :) and made our way to beds.. We had the funniest carriage ever - 2 older ladies who were old school friends, a religious man on a pilgrimige who was so nice and a communist woman who shouted at everyone she saw above her in status (Luckily she said she saw us a weak so was very friendly) hahaaaa. However, even though all were lovely they argued with each other the wholeeee journey!
Now in Mumbai, we leave for Goa tomorrow and are sooo ready to get a tan. As you can see from our photos we are ridiculously pale!!!
