KEOLADEO UNESCO BIRD SANCTUARY AND AGRA

We left Mandawa at 8 am in a light mist and were taken to the Heritage Hotel where we were booked in to originally but the film crew had taken our room - so they brought us to the right Haveli hotel for a nice breakfast





After breakfast they allowed us to use the loo in the bridal suite which was all like this:


We then set off on our 600km drive across through Jaipur again and to Agra.  On the way we visited the lovely UNESCO bird sanctuary of Keoladeo where John rode a bike with the guide and Moira and I had a rickshaw - never seen so many birds so close together and deer and jackals - finally I have seen a blue kingfisher!



The final 50 km was in the dark to Agra - really scary and they had had a small rain storm before we arrived - traffic was mayhem - hotel leaves a lot to be desired but What the hell - Taj Mahal tomorrow

Lovely pictures. I especially liked seeing Moira leading the dancing. No change there then!
Good luck with all your travel arrangements. Margaret got on the wrong plane going back to Ireland today!
