Hey Everyone.
Last time we wrote we had been to Orchha and seen Khajuraho, since then we've been to Agra and arrived in Udaipur. Lets start off with Agra...
The Taj is just as beautiful as it looks in the pictures. We got up at 5 O'Clock to catch the sunrise. it was abit missty at first but it still looked cool, watched the sun rise over the taj and tuk loads of photos. its massive! didnt realise how big it was until u stud near it. went inside aswell, which is all white marble with sum designs and it has 2 tombs of the emperor and his lover- who it was built for. everything was really symmetrical n stuff- not much to say about it, u shud go see it for yourself!
after that we braved the heat and walkedf to agra fort, wich was 2 km away, very hot indeed, the sun just burns your feet! Agra fort was nice, had good views of the taj from there. it had features from 3 different time periods as different emperors added to it. met a man feeding sum sort of squirrel and i got to feed it as the man gave me some food for it! then he asked for money and i said no- CHEEKY!
people kept trying to sell the most ridiculos things- taj mhal snow globes! as if im gonna buy that takyness mate!
had breckfast on a roof top where you could see the taj fvrom, was v nice eating cornflakes whilst lukin at taj, (banana pankake for tom)
had sum indian waiter up there who ruined the peace by playing sum indian gangsta rap on his phone, i felt like saying that chavs do that in england, and we dont like chavs! lol but then we got chatting to him.
went to trainstatiuon, waited for AGESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS for a train coz we got there really early so we didnt miss it. met sum random weird man who kept talking to us but didnt make much sense, he showed me a picture of his girlfriend...thanks...Also saw a proppa mad man who was dressed in womens clothes, i think everyone knew him as the CRAZY MAN. Also met 2 germans, who were normal, and 2 young indian kids who wa really nice, and gave us some old indian coins, so tom gave them 20p for their collection. the suddenly the weird man showed up again and tried talking to us agen! he tripped up over our bags which was funny hahahaha! tom saw a pigeon fly into a fan on the ceilling and fell flat on the floor, probably half dead. then sum1 piked it up and tuk it away proably to finish it off...and maybe have it for tea that nite lol.
train journey was ok, it finally went smooth, and we managed to sleep a bit! got to Udaipur this morning, and went on a trip round the city. we had the best auto rickshaw driver ever, who drove bout 5 m/h and so we didnt think he were going to die.. Saw a memorial to the royals, veg market- v colourfun but busy, went to a minutrue painting shop and got show how they are made (speciality in udaipur). Saw the lakes and palaces, good view from the top of the palace. saw athe statue of pratap- former rulerwho protected the city from mughal invasion-hero man.
