Travelling with CaRe: Honeymoon travel to India - Day 3

Our third day in India began again with a jet lag who hit us. It is getting better but we could still feel it as we did not really got up in good mood in the morning. Travelling in India takes a lot of time. It took us almost 6 hours for 200km. There is no highway and we had a maximum speed of 90 km/h. Whenever there was a small or bigger city on the way to Agra we got stuck in traffic jam immediately.

In the middle of Delhi and Agra we had a quick stop at a touristic shop of all kind of merchandise. Most important for us where other facilities like the washrooms and a place where we could get some drinks and food.

You can find very interesting types of trucks in India. They are nicely painted and every truck looks different and individual, the same applies for the horn of these trucks. Indian streets are so funny having people, bikes, cars, trucks, tuk tuks and busses wherever these cars find a good way.

Having arrived in Agra we checked in at the hotel and started for a first sightseeing tour in Agra. We had a new tour guide and he showed us the Red Fort Agra. This Fort is really huge and very crowded. It has nicely decorated walls of red stone and white marble. From the Red Fort we also had a first view on the Taj Mahal.
