As I type we are on our way back to Gurgaon after a weekend in Agra. The journey should take approx. 4 hrs. Mj and lj are watching a film on my ipad, Ezra is colouring with his water pen and Calvin is fighting with some stickers. Let's hope the peace remains.
Yesterday we made the journey down early in the morning.
Our first sight to see was of course the Taj Mahal. It didn't dissapoint. It really is majestic as it sits elegantly on the skyline. As I said on my IG, it feels surreal now to be able to say that we have seen it. We spent the late afternoon at our hotel, the Radisson Blu East Gate which boasts a view of the Taj from its rooftop... although disappointingly, not when it is foggy! It also has a rooftop pool which it describes as 'refreshing'. Lj and Ezra can testify to the 'freshness' of the non heated, outdoor pool on a not - particularly - hot day.
This morning we visited the Agra Red Fort which was surprisingly special. Beautiful open spaces surrounded by highly decorated but not gaudy red stone buildings. A great place for kids to run off some energy.
2 days later...
We made it home although I did wonder, as our driver drove like a mad man through the really busy roads of Delhi. My nerves were rather frayed but we survived!
