Got up at 8.00am and ate our usual breakfast of cornflakes, eggy bread, mango juice and coffee (we steal our bananas for when we need a snack!). After a quick session on the internet to make sure we had a bed in Agra, we headed, with Sam, to the train station and aprehensively bought our tickets to Agra (375 Rupees each).

Following this we headed to Connaught Place where Sam booked her flight to Nepal. We then tried to tried to get further bus and train info from the tourist office. However, they were of little help and just tried to talk us into spending more time in Rajasthan!

We then decided to travel to the south of the city and visit the Qutb Minar, which we had to miss out on yesterdays city tour. We managed to find the slowest rickshaw in Delhi, it took around 45-60 minutes to get there, through the horribly polluted streets. Once we were within the complex we could see we had made the right decision not to leave it out. The Qutb Minar is the remains of a city with the focal point being a red sandstone tower. There is magnificent architecture within the complex and there is a lot of restoration work currently ongoing.

After a quick lemon fanta (or apple, or strawberry, or orange!) we headed back to Connaught Place on a much faster rickshaw. We made a quick detour into the Imperial Hotel to freshen up in the lovely clean toilets! After a brief look at the Tibetan Market we headed back to the hotel, via Subway (yes, they do have them here - with the same bread and fillings - the shop was full of Brits!), as Sam needed some food for her overnight train to Varanasi. We also bought postcards from the first card shop we had seen.

Back at the hotel we chilled out for an hour before heading back to the train station to say bye to Sam. En route we saw some more disturbing sights including a man without a jaw, his mouth merged into his neck resembling the infamous 'Scream' painting. Furthermore, the smells of Delhi are just as pungent in the evening as during the day, with rancid smell of urine from open street-side toilets, occassionally overpowered by the gorgeous aroma of incense, spices and perfumes from the markets and roadside stalls.

We then tried to find a different restaurant to eat in but ended up at Mahlotra, again! This time for vegetable sweet and sour and chicken chowmein. Then it was back to our hotel to prepare for our early morning train to Agra. Although the hotel was pleasant, we will be glad to escape the internet cafe guy who offered an inclusive massage, whilst you surfed (bit wierd)!
