This is not a dream, arghhhhhh, we really are in India!

After haphazardly attempting to haggle with the taxi booth at Delhi airport our taxi driver Ravi took us to the street near our hotel, called Main Bazaar. We had to yank the taxi door open simply to make him stop as he wanted to help us find a hotel etc etc! Friendly bloke though! Even at 10am Main Bazaar was very busy and we tried to avert our eyes from the constant bombardment of street vendors offers. Never seen anything like it!

After Delhi we then went to Agra and saw the Taj Mahal. On the way saw a man carrying his shopping bags riding an elephant ! We also saw camels, monkeys, cows and a boy with a cobra in a basket. One monkey even clung to Kara's window! So we saw lots of wildlife on the way.

Seeing the Taj Mahal was surreal and spectacular! We've been trying to attach a vid but will have another go in a bit!

PS John here, Kara is now becoming ferocious at haggling! After being sort of scammed once we have learnt our lesson and Kara has now got her haggling face down to a tea, scary! I'll try to get an action photo to post at a later date!
