After a leisurely cycle through Bharatpur bird park we returned to the hotel, handed our trusty Trek bikes back to W and Ayub and farewelled Jeet our cook who has kept us well fed on both our camel and bike adventures. Back in the bus with Bihari at the wheel we stop off at Fatehpur Sikri (another fort/palace) before arriving in Agra. After checking into our hotel we head back out to visit Agra Fort - the Red Fort. Anun is the first female guide we have had and she is great. Leading us around the Red Fort she really paints a picture for us of what life would of been like to live there in the time of the Great Moghuls. It is from here we see our first glimpse of the famous Taj Mahal, Shah Jahan's mausoleum to his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal who died at age 39 giving birth to their 14th child. We thought we were over forts/palaces but this one is something special.
