The haze and heat have intensified today making it all the remarkable that the hundreds of pilgrims marching in groups behind decorated tractors in bare feet to some temple or other we saw along the way would even think this a good idea let alone carry it out....but they looked very cheerful and determined!
...and our first elephant sighting (helping to trim trees along the freeway) and camel....fantastic!
We are now in a very tacky hotel (blue lights in the bedhead that allow the diamonds inserted in the padded brown vinyl to glow... (you get the picture)in Agra.....but location, location was the object of the choice (and price of course) but I did not expect a view of the Taj from the loo!

A loo with a view of the Taj! No wonder you've got real diamonds in the bed head. Excellent blogging. We are loving it. Kate xx
ReplyDeleteThey may not be entirely real at that size.
ReplyDeleteLove the Taj from the loo! The loo is also the hot wind blowing from the west over the desert in summer - I had blue lights in the bedhead at this ghastly Oyo hotel in Paharaganj last year - ghastly, you couldn't read a book in bed. I don't know what they were thinking - I think it was to hide the grimy doona cover! xxx
ReplyDeleteThe best view from my house in Australia is the bathroom.
ReplyDeleteI always thought views from the loo were the best thing.. such a contemplative spot to just stop from the bustle of the day and appreciate things. :)
