I travelled to the Golden Triangle last week and yes, on the way to Agra, I also had my first experience of the monkey business. Our driver also stopped at the Rajasthan motel. Just thought of asking whether you had also used Flexi tours for your car and driver for your Delhi-Agra trip.

Good shot of the Lotus temple there. Captures the quietness of the place. My photos there are filled with all the crowds going in and coming out.

Just to add the best season to travel north & central india is between mid september and February. It is also more expensive to travel during this peak period as the rates of hotels and other traveling charges are 50% higher!

Kingfisher Airlines? LOL. How about Coors Air? There all the air marshalls would be armed with silver bullets…

RTFP!

“Kingfisher is the same company that makes Kingfisher beer, but ironically, alcohol consumption is prohibited on Indian domestic flights.”

Yes, it is kind of odd that I haven’t picked up more of a tan, considering that I spend at least a couple of hours a day outside on weekends. The redness you see in those pictures isn’t sunburn, though, it’s due to overheating. You can tell how hot I am by that vein bulging out of my forehead!

Oh, I also wanted to ask why the black Taj wasn’t built yet, or what it was supposed to represent, but a trop to Wikipedia answers all:

Kingfisher airlines, like the Indian beer? (I think it’s Kingfisher beer right?) The picture of you infront of the Taj is great! Oddly enough you have more of a sun burn than I thought you would at this point. I expected a pretty deep tan by now.
