drink anyone?

The bizarre stay at the pub continued.  Customers continue to help themselves,  no one pays and even when I offered £15, which I guessed would probably cover my dinner and wine, I  was given  £5 back.  The whole experience was hilarious and long may it last but economically it seems unlikely.

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.
