Sat in an internet house, bare foot waiting endlessley for the slow system and my photos to be burned to disc, life couldn't be better! So much has happend since my slightly anxious afternoon in Delhi that I sadly wont be able to share all :(
Currently in Orchha for 2 nights where the people are a little more harrassing but not intimidating The best bit about today was that I saw my first monkeys just lounging around Orchha temple. Their tales were so long! Loved them!!! We arrived yesterday from Chanderi where we travelled 5 hours on the bus. Nightmare.
Chanderi was a small village where we also stayed two nights. This place was amazing. Not for the sights but the people. Never before had I meet such happy welcoming people. They treated us like film stars when we arrived. Shouting and wanting to shake our hands. The kids were the best. All they wanted was their photo taken. When I showed it to them on the digital camera they went crazy. Their little faces were such a delight. We also ate dinner with a local family. The food was out of this world!! We were also treated to traditional henna designs on our hands and feet which I must say are very beautiful!
Before Chanderi was Agra where the Tag Mahal is. What an experience. We were there for sunset which made the building change in colour several times. The only down side were the crowds, so many people were there that it spoilt the atmosphere a little. We were also joined by a couple in Agra, Martin and Abigail who are really nice. The four of us have been haggerling in the market already! So now it's an afternoon of rafting down the Betwa River before our cooking class this evening. Apparently it's the cleanest in India - Yeah RIGHT!!!
Chelo! (Let's go!) xxxxx
P.S. Photos are coming, aslong and Mr Orchha hasn't deleted the all! EEEkkkkk!!
