bumpy ride

Internet has been hard to find the last couple of days and Atms that work seem to be non existent.  Twice I managed to put my pin in and the amount of rupees I wanted but no money appeared so I hope the transactions haven't gone through my bank.

Yesterday I travelled by train to Sawal Madhopur, near the Ranthambore national park.  I had a good laugh with 3 guys who were travelling together and staying at the same hotel.  This morning I went on a safari landrover looking for tigers.  After 3 hours of bone crunching discomfort I had seen lots of deer, 2 peacocks, several monkeys and a wild boar. I have just spoken to someone who went this afternoon and yes, she saw tigers.

French railway workers are striking 2 days in 5 for the next few months in protest against Macron's reforms.  To launch these strikes huge protests were organised in Paris but oh dear the strikers couldn't get there because the trains weren't running due to strike action.

stormy weather

Last evening there was a huge storm, lightning,  wind and torrential rain in Agra. This morning the devastation was clear. No power, 50 dead and hundreds of trees down. On the way to the taj mahal  I could see crushed cars, flooded streets  and so many trees.   Then out of all this destruction I arrived at the taj mahal. It doesn't matter how many pictures you see  they cannot compare to seeing this exquisite building rising up above you.  I have waited so long to see it and  it  is far better than I could have imagined.
