A day in Delhi was enough. The city is difficult to get by in without a guide, and having a guide is difficult - as they are always trying to sell you something or other on top of the tour you're already on. At least we had a nice hotel on the last day, the first since we got to India with clean sheets and a hot shower. After fussing about how to get traintickets on the overcrowded (and overpopulated by touts) New Delhi railway station, we gave in an had the hotel manager at the hotel book tickets for us. We were on our way to Agra.
Departing from Delhi at 4pm we didn't arrive in Agra until 10pm, and the train station turned out to be in the outskirts of town, we had to grab a taxi of a bunch of sketchy looking guys waiting outside of the train station. However they found us a nice enough hotel with dirty sheets, but hot showers (the Kirandeep).
Agra is a small town by Indian scales, with only 2 mill. inhabitants. And although it's full of sightseeing points (the Taj Mahal, The Baby Taj, Agra Fort and so on) it doesn't seem to offer much else in terms of leisure.
The Taj was great! We were in awe by the shere greatness of the structure. And the Baby Taj was also great, and with a calmness to it that the outside world lacks.
Today we're aiming to go to Jaipur, if we can get train tickets.
