Sorry I've been slack but I've been trying to download the pictures off my camera and it's proving impossible at the moment will have to get them put onto disk or buy more memory cards. Not to worry I will battle on. Currently in Bharaptpur but will fill you in on the bit since Pachmari. After Pachmari we went onto Bhopal sure you will have heard it from the famous gas tragedy. Strangley though it reminded me of Istanbul as it is a city which surrounds a couple of large lakes. We didn't stay long there but did manage to get to a place called Sanchi which is one of the worlds best preserved Buddah Stupa. Of course I have a few photos which hopefully I will get to download.
From there we went to Agra which is a complete S***h***. We had both been to the Taj before but went to Fatepur Sikri (old city built buy Mogul Ruler Akbar) and Sakandra which is his tomb and was very impressive elaborate Islamic design. Glad to get out of there lots and lots of hassle. "You want Rickshaw, Guide etc"
