• Goa to Agra (via Bangalore)

    February 16, 2025 in India ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Moving day, everyone's feeling a bit better today, early start, fly to Bangalore then change for flight to Agra to meet up with Dhun's mum, aunt and cousins. Arrived at hotel with a view of the Taj!! Agra airport is actually a military airport that allows some internal commercial flights when you arrive after collecting your luggage you have to take a bus off the military complex to the boundary of the base where taxis wait.

    Went to dinner at Dhun's aunts, the road she lives in is mainly owned by one extended family who have the apartments in the road, there was a wedding (today being the first of 3 days of celebration) and the road has been converted into a wedding venue! Carpets and wall hangings with food music and bar laid out along the road. We walked through it to get to the house, it was great to see everyone again and to rejoin Dhun's mum who had been staying there for a week. After food Ab and I popped out to the wedding and immediately were grabbed by a chap (who may be slightly related to us) and given whiskey and introduced to the bride and loads of the guests, amazing, people are so friendly.
