Nicer than Lucknow and parks!

We are currently waiting for our next bus journey of a mere 8 hours (sigh) to get to Agra. Allahabad aka Prayagraj was a decent stop in our journey. We came here originally just as an overstop but it has been nice. Of course not as nice as Varanasi but that is going to be hard to beat.

One really nice thing are the parks here, on our first day we were going to go to a museum but wandered into the adjoining Park for 5 rupees (0,0625 €). It was huge and was filled with students studying in the grass. Really cool and nice to finally get some fresh and clean air again after all this pollution.

Second day we went to the second most popular attraction which were these 4 tombs in another huge park. This was really nice although we have gotten a bit sick of contant selfie requests. Especially here it was really bad. We don't even know how many times we were asked but it has tired quickly and we had to say "no" a few times just to be begged for one anyway. So a bit annoying when you are just trying to walk around and wonder at the attraction too. Made us realise we're not cut out for fame lol. Didn't ruin the day though by any means. Was really nice and some guy did take a lovely picture of us which I have attached.

There's also a Christian church here as well as loads of temples as well as it being a muslim town. Pretty cool.Читать далее
