  • Jaipur to Agra

    November 23, 2016 in India ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C

    Still not 100% healthy we we sat out at 5:15 for a sunrise ballon ride outside Jaipur. Was a special morning with crisp air. Passing over the a small village the children rushed to rooftops and fields to welcome the balloon shooting hello and beckoning us to land.

    Unfortunately the afternoon was spent in bed recovering from Jai's revenge. Feeling better Anya and I ventured out in a tuktuk for night photos.

    The next day we left for Agra. A five hour bus ride past quickly peppered with moments of terror as the bus maneuvered to miss passing traffic.

    In Agra we visited the famed Taj Mahal!!! And red fort. Taj was a place of beauty and wondering around you imagined the love that created this place only to end in tragedy.
