... choosing their own new family and friends after quarantine and arrival. We saw the habitat built for the blind sloth bears, blind due to infection and abuse. Sid introduced us to Johnnie, the curious and friendly sloth bear. In showing us Guna, one of the largest sloth bears, we were pleased to meet the entertaining, charming, and extremely jealous Ravi. Ravi was hilarious as he wanted all the attention ...

... be able to set our own pace and see the things we wanted, but it meant that we were constantly harassed by cycle rickshaw riders who kept telling us that it was a very long walk and surely we would prefer a ride. It was a bit off putting to be in a nice national park and still be hassled. Eventually, once we got far enough in, we did get some peace and quiet. The ...

... villages, some of them seemingly without electricity, where people sit round electric lamps or open fires and a barber gives a haircut by candlelight. The road is being widened and we regularly bounce around a new, unsurfaced section. At 7.45 we arrive in the small wedding town and pass the bridegroom's procession as it assembles, the groom in traditional Indian dress sitting on a horse. Reaching the large restaurant, where the festivities are being ...

EN: After spending the morning visiting the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, we set off to Jaipur in Rajastan. On the way we stopped at Fathepur Sikri, just 37km out of Agra to visit the royal complex there. This walled city dates back to the 16th century and was the Mughal capital for 14 years. Although it was abandoned centuries ago (presumably due to lack of water), it is very well preserved. The Jami Masjid mosque, still in use today, is ...

... and waved the few off who were heading out to the bird park (I had no interest in seeing it)... I hung out by the pool and chilled out with a few of the others before it got too hot.

What we hadn't anticipated was the sight of literally dozens of Sikhs, many wearing golden scarves, a number brandishing ceremonial swords, racing hell for leather down the platform in an attempt to secure the best seats for their journey to Amritsar. An amazing spectacle, almost worth the ticket price alone. We had been warned to wait for a tour rep to ease our passage through the station and it's lucky we did as the porters immediately initiated a heated ...

... buried. It is quite impressive but we are on a tight schedule and move on to "the big one" quickly. The Taj Mahal... AMAZING! I discover that it was all built for one lady who was actually the second wife of Shah Jahan, and one of many. The greatest display of love, and the recently voted #1 wonder of the world, and he had a harem on the side as well! The marble inlay work is amazing and the size of the ...

... Indiens zu akzeptieren ist es ein Land voller herausragender Reiseziele. Diejenigen, die es nicht schaffen - und das sind nicht wenige - hassen es. http://picasaweb.google.com/laurin.jane s/Agra Seit einer Woche bin ich in Bodh Gaya, dem Ort an dem der historische Buddha die Erleuchtung erlangt hat, der Ort von dem sich der Buddhismus ueber 2500 Jahre lang ueber die Welt ausgebreitet hat und der Ort an dem die Geschichten die ich gelesen habe, eine reale ...
