We took the train to Bird Sanctuary. We got a moto to take us to a guesthouse near the Bird Sanctuary which had been recommended to us by some other travellers. We arranged with the owner for him to take us on a tour of the bird park next morning. We walked a couple of kilometres back into town where there was an internet café which had a very fast connection.
We got up at 5am this morning to go on the bird tour with our host. We rode bicycles through the park. Along the way we came across an orphan deer which kept following us, he was a sweetie. The guide was very good at showing us where the birds where, as if by ourselves we would have just peddled right by them. When we got back to the guesthouse we had drinks and dinner with a German couple staying there.
Today we walked to the corner and caught the local bus into Agra for the day to see the Taj Mahal. A Dutch couple also caught the bus but they were travelling on to New Delhi. The Taj Mahal is absolutely stunning. It mesmerises you and you can't stop looking at it. Going back to the bus station we ran into a guy from Germany that had been on the bus with us travelling from Mt Abu.
