I forgot to mention the BLOODY traffic in Agra while I was there. I almost got run over by a camel! I haven't been around camels in a bit so I was mighty surprised when its big gawky maw was all pushed up in me face! All covered with spit it was and that bugger was farting the entire time he passed me.
That so unnerved me I stepped back into the street and a stampede of Brahman bulls almost over ran me. This was followed by a crush of Tuk Tuk's (auto rickshaws) what was all bunched up behind the cattle. Then came the motorbikes, the goats, the pigs and a bloody elephant!
These streets in Delhi aren't meant for transportation they're a bloody zoo! This all happened during the day when I have a delicate constitution mind you. All that sun and traffic gave my stomach a turn it did.
I was very happy to get on the train to Agra later on in the day. Night time in Agra was lovely. A deathly pall of smog and smoke descended on the train platform where I was waiting. It invigorated me lungs and reminded me of home.
Uh-oh! Bucky's at the door.
