  • World Trip 2015: Day 6 – Agra to Jaipur, India

    Wednesday 22 April 2015
    Highlights:     Fathpur Sikri (abandon city) , Abhaneri (stunning ancient water tank) and Bollywood!

    Today originally looked like a positioning day with a long trip to Jaipur but was it turned out that under played today’s stops in Fathpur Sikri and the Abhaner.  We left Agra at 8.30 am with the knowledge we wouldn’t get to Jaipur until early earning and with some sorrow or leaving the wonders of this town.

  • World Trip 2015: Day 5 – Agra, India

    Tuesday 21 April 2015
    Highlights:     Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Baby Taj and visit to the Marble Emporium.

    A massive day, probably the most impressive I’ve done on a tour excluding the Antartica trip.  The city of Agra is an amazing place that the Moghuls, at that time led by Akbar the Great, settled in the late 16th century and used their fabulous worth to build monuments and other structures like Forts.

  • World Trip 2015: Day 4 – Delhi to Agra, India

    Monday 20 April 2015
    Highlights:     The Paharganj slums, the children’s refuge, Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sikh Temple, Jamaica Masijd (Great Mosque).

    The first full day of the tour turned out to be eye opening.  Before we started I woke up at 5.30 am local time, which is really 10 am In Australia so I used the time to walk around the local area and backtracked to the shopping district I saw last night.  I saw the $15 million USA dollar residence which became a handy reference for the later visit to the Delhi slums.
