Sam and I are not big on tourist sites and this long day definitely confirmed it – the expense, queues, security, no photos at many etc. etc. – at least we made the effort and have some half decent pictures in which to remember India.  I was going to write the names and a description of each site, but frankly they are not really that interesting.

Hopefully we will get to see rural India on our tour of the golden triangle (Delhi, Jaipur and Agra).
