Hey everyone,
Chris and I are in Agra, India. Took a "5 hour" (see: 8 hour) train from Jaipur to here. Having uploading problems at the Internet Cafe, so we will post again in the next few days. All we have to say is that Delhi is crazy, Jaipur is gorgeous (and really interesting: they were studying some serious astronomy over 300 years ago!), and the Taj Mahal should be breathtaking tomorrow during sunrise/sunset. Some quick notes:
-Starting to feel what has been infamously labeled as "Delhi Belly"
-Chris and I have not had separate beds since leaving Sri Lanka (but we don't cuddle)
-My zip-off pants are awesome. They are to travelers what capris are to European men.
Prices in India:
"cozy" room in Delhi: 350 rupees
1 Liter mineral water: 15 rupees
Chapati and Dahl breakfast at street-stall: 10 rupees
3rd class A/C sleeper seat on 6-hour train: 450 rupees
(exchange rate: 48 Rupees = US$1)
That's it, that's all. Pictures/better blogging to come in a few days.
Namaste,
Phil
