We drove ten hours to see Taj Mahal. I am not sure it was worth it,but it really isincredible.

Mostly, we saw camels (the biggest I have ever seen, probably 12 foot tall) and cows and water buffallo and men with cobras in baskets, and yes monkeys, not in a zoo, no no my friend, but on the side of the road. They were also randomly wandering around on tops of abandoned buildings. The monkeys are squatting Agra. Also, very small children wandering around barefoot in the city, some begging, some just playing in the squalor. It looks sometimes like something out of a post-apocalyptic movie, but with the occasional wedding party on white horses with a million flowers to brighten the scene. These scenes weigh on me, as does the level of pollution and the sheer numbers of people. There are 15 million people in Delhi they say. Especially contrasting this to the bollywood scenes which I love so much.

We were also diverted yet again by a "guide" who took us to his friend's shop. I was unamused. But we had a fantastic vegetarian Osho (Buddhist guru) cafe lunch, which was clean and cool and healthy.

Tomorrow is our last day in Delhi, then at 5 am-ish I am losing my partner in crime back to the world of work and I am heading into the long string of flights home.

For now, I am so tired I am barely walking.
