Agra

Agra as a city feels very empty. It relies on the fact that it houses the Taj. Which is fine by me because the Taj is absolutly immense. We got up at 4am to get to the Taj at sunrise and guess what. WE WERE THE FIRST ONES IN! For about 5 minutes we had the entire Taj Mahal to ourselves! It was so surreal!! Eerie and absolutley stunning! And then as the sun rose crowds formed and we left about 8am. It was an amazing experience! First ones in! And also the experience of Sophie attempting to put her shoe covers on whilst standing up...also immense.

Then we went to the red fort which was also eerily empty. And therefore amazing. Had our pictures taken with many Indian families, who regard us as a beautiful freakshow and often ask for photos with us. And fed some chipmonks. It was a great morning!

Other than that, Agra has very little to offer. Well there was a Pizza hut and a Costa next to our hotel where we spent a LOT of time, but other than that. Oh and a McDonalds. But other than that. And a shoppng mall.
