I starting to lose track of days. We've been on the move for what feels like days. This combined with really spotty internet access has me feeling really disconnected. It's been a challenging few days. AK is still under the weather. I think we may have to move some travel bits around and ease up a bit.
Anyway here's a quick round up of our last couple of days. We did some additional retail therapy on our last day in Delhi; took a mid-morning train to Agra to see the Taj (it's spectacular BTW); spent and afternoon at the Oberoi hotel posing out; rode the overnight train from Agra to Gaya (an experience, while wonderful, will not be repeated); and are now crashing in Bodhgaya.
I understand from the hotel that there is a Hindu holy ceremony going on today so it might be a bit crowded. I think we may just laze at the hotel and take in the sites tomorrow.
BTW - the Indian style toilets on the train have an "oh shit" bar. Absolutely necessary when trying to keep upright while squatting on a moving train. All I can say is that I will have thighs of steel by the end of this vacation.
I'll post more when my head isn't spinning.... photos to follow.
