Kristen and I enjoyed New Years eve in Agra - we saw the beautiful Taj Mahal.
On the turn of the year, we were in a backpackers in Agra, enjoying an unusual winter downpour! We celebrated with a half a dozen other travellers from all over the world.
On the 1st we woke up and jumped on a bus to Jaipur - 5 hours away, on bus! Bumpy ride, but we arrived at 6pm safely. We unfortunately took 1 hour trying to find a pizza place, then 3 hours trying to find an internet cafe to get our "couch-surfing" contact number. We arrived at their place at 10pm... shame we kept them awake :(
We're staying in Jaipur for a few days, then heading up to a horse-stable for a week or two - another "work away" contact. More to follow...
Missing everyone very much, especially family and close friends (especially you Lou!)

Boy, you guys sure do have a great time, even with all the tedium of travel. The Taj Mahal must have been fabulous to see in person, friends of mine that have been there just rave about it.
ReplyDeleteAll of us miss both of you as well, but, so happy that you have decided to take this year to explore together. Thanks for the shout out, take care.
