Well thats it, we are on the road. After spending a few days in Delhi, we took the road to visit the country, as we slowly head towards Nepal.
Our first stop was in Agra, where you can find the famous Taj Mahal, absolutely beautiful ! all the white marble stones, the incrusted semi precious stones in the wall, and some really nice looking gardens. Hotel was quite nice and fairly peaceful. We managed to get a single room for the 4 of us. The hotel boss has a pretty good french, something quite rare over here.
We then went to Gwalior, very busy place, awful hotel, on the main road, noisy as hell, full of insects (all those crawling thingys), we had to split up in 2 rooms, but noone managed to get much sleep with all the noise in the streets all night long, and all that creeping going around us! However some very nice ruins of an old palace, with a great view of the area.
Next stop was in Orchha, we hadn’t planned to stop there in the first place, but travelling takes so much time, you just need to stop and rest a bit. We were all very surprised however, tiny placem probably just a couple hundred of people in the area. So peaceful, not a single noise, we all enjoyed the night we spent there. There is a huge temple there, we had a nice walk in there, had fun with the monkeys and the birds and huge wasps occupying the place. We saw an amazing sunset from the top of the palace ruins.
We left early in the morning for Khajuraho (Kama Sutra), but this is for next time …
