Thomas' take on India...

India (December 2014)

When we arrived in New Dehli we were landed at Delhi international Airport, were we had to get used to the busyness. When we got to our Hotel (called Hotel Klabi) we had to sleep because it was 1 O'clock in the morning.

 The next day we went to a church in Delhi called Dehli Bible Church. We were all worshipping the Lord when we got there.


We went back to our Hotel and we waited until about 6 (someone told us at church that they'll come pick us up) and in the end he didn't pick us up so we had to have dinner at the Hotel.

 The next day we wanted to do City sightseeing before we went to Agra, so we went to Humayun's Tomb. When we were there, there was tons of school girls there on their school trip. After that we wanted to go to the Lotus Temple, but (this is a warning to all of you, who go to New Delhi) it is  closed on MONDAY!!!

After that our guide really badly wanted to show us how carpets were made. After all that we finally left to Arga (not mentining arriving at our Hotel just after 9)... After all we finally got at our Hotel called Arma (or something like that). 

The next day (not mentioning after dad trying to wake me up and me not budging) we went to the Taj Mahal. We were all really excited (except for Philippa and Nina (who kept on moaning "no I don't want to go"))!!! On the way in to the Taj Mahal there is a big gate (if you go in the south gate)  what the King made for the Hindu wife (the King had 3 wife's, including a Muslim wife, a Hindu wife and a Christian wife) and the gate was the place where the Hindu wife got buried. The Taj on the other hand is where the Muslim wife and the King got buried. The Muslim wife had 13 or 14 children, the Christian wife and the Hindu wife didn't have any children. 


After the Taj Mahal we went to the Agra Fort. It is 2 and a half Kilometres but luckily the army was using up 75% and we could only go in go in 25% of it and we where Relieved of that . Pheew. Our guide told us that there was two ditches and in one was Snakes and Crocodiles and in the other other one there was Tigers and Elephants. After that we went to the Baby Taj and Mum got told that it looks like a jewelry box and it does. 




 The next day we left (on another long journey) to Jaipur. When we got in Jaipur it was sunset. We got to our Hotel called Hotel Jaipur Palace a three star hotel that lost it's shine. When we had breakfast in the morning, I chose naan, but it wasn't naan, it was a sort of spicy curry-ish thingy that made me drink three cups of orange juice all at once. And Alana on the other hand, had fruit salad, and the fruits were raw. We went to a Observation Center and it was very disappointing because I thought we would look through a telescope to see the stars, but it was only old fashioned instruments.
Then we went to the City Palace and the king who stayed there was a absulute giant, who was seven feet tall and extremly wide. 
After that we went to the Amber  Fort and it is probably as big as four football pitches.

 The next day we went back to New Delhi (to the same Hotel, Hotel Kabli) to sleep there for the night. The next day we finally left India (and our annoying driver) to go to Kathmandu, Nepal.
