Fatehpur Sikri, India
Wednesday, July 11, 2007
After the eventful bus journey, we then had a three kilometer walk with all our gear which wasn't going so well with Nae's health going downhill. We decided to get a motorcycle with a local man driving. This was a sight to behold. Shaun and Nae with two huge packs on our backs and one each on our front while trying to muscle our way onto this motorbike that struggled the entire way up the slight incline after the drivers initial swerves and potentially close dismounts off the bike. The next morning Nae was very sick so after a quick visit from the doctor she was on pills and spent the rest of the day sleeping while Shaun went and had a look at the sights.
Fatehpur Sikri was an ancient capitol of India but only for a short period of time. The buildings here are remarkably preserved. There is a fantastic mosque (the second biggest in India) and a palace/city grounds that were all a fantastic site. When Shaun got home Nae was still quite ill so it was decided to spend one more night here and head back to Delhi rather than to push on to Rajasthan.
