Agra #Day7

Day 7: Tuesday the 12th of November:

Today is a national festival which is a public holiday for everyone.

We are travelling to Agra! Pronounced 'Argra'. It's over a 4 hour journey. It's so good sitting in the back of the bus, people watching. Majority of people sit by their own little market stalls. Cows and dogs roam the streets. There are masses of piles of rubbish everywhere which for me is the most heartbreaking to see.

On the way we visited the biggest well in India called, Chand Baori Step Well . It has 13 levels and over 3 thousand steps. It was so incredible to see!

The markets here were the best.

We checked into the hotel and visited the Red Agra Fort, similar to the Red Fort we visited on Delhi. 

This fort was huuge! So many courtyards. The King who built the Taj Mahal for his wife while died, imprisoned his father in this fort. We sore where he lived, it wasn't the worst place to be locked up haha.

We arrived at our next hotel and had an early night as we are seeing the Taj Mahal at sunrise tonorrow eeeek!
