We sat with friends in Feb 2012 in the kitchen and talked and decided where to go on vacation! And came up with the idea that we all (about 10-12 people) can write at one time obtuse and fly to India. Everyone wanted exclusively in Goa, only I wanted to ride from North to South, and therefore began to work out a route.
A couple of months, when it was decided to buy a ticket, why some of those wishing 10-12 people left only four! Bought tickets Moscow-Delhi, Goa-Moscow, and a month later the friend passed the tickets, and two tickets passed two and I was left alone! Called a friend to Peter (whom he met that year before traveling to tai) said: Tanya, October 1 we fly to India for a month, buy tickets. And two days later she did!
And in may we were joined by Ira (a friend of my good friend with Irina we met twice, but after the stories about the last vacation, she asked us) and a month later the guy Sasha, whom I also see only mutual friends!
Sasha called me at 4am in the trash on the fun)))) and asked number and date of the flight, bought! And the next day it turned out that I bought the day before, because Doha was waiting for us the day before the transplant, and then it turned out that he was flying to Delhi is not with us, waited for us there’s still about 7 hours)))))
unfortunately the route was later changed to this (why?! Read on):
Moscow — Delhi — Agra — Gwalior — Khajuraho — Varanasi — Delhi — Goa — Murudeshwar — Moscow
1.10.2012
We’re then in Domodedovo, came to 13.47 (departure at 14.50), but the evil aunt told us that we were late and registration closed! I think I just wanted her to we were doprashivali, poisonality – in General, showed that she is the king and God, and we poop.
Checked us in. The girls on the suitcase to 13 kg, my backpack 3 kg hand Luggage!
To Doha, we flew fun (we always have fun fly), drank Chilean and French wine, to be honest, very much, but were we behave and this is important! After meeting with the flight attendant from Chile – Javier, it was decided that name to call our new companion, namely my pet animal
In Doha he met Sasha, but after the wine, such as Doha from memory drank. I only know that we bought a champagne, whisky, liqueur and went out to eat for the money, although with a long waiting for your flight, we can feed for free))))
DELHI! On 2.10.2012
In the port took a car to Agra for 4200 Rue. The bus would be too long + second flights we have survived worse, especially me, so shaking would.
Drove for about 5 hours. Mid-way we realized that Sasha will anneal the entire vacation. I stop at the gas station, I can smell smoke, turn my head, and Sasha smokes:
— Sasha, I understand, but can we rest for a while, and not blow the gas station at the beginning of the holiday.
Well, I lit it and had no time to throw!
How he is still right there didn’t!
Settled in the hostel Sai Palace (400 Rue night) in a 5-7 minute walk from the Taj and from the rooftop restaurant!
To be honest, the shock that we experienced from the first impression of India I haven’t been able to compare. It was so negative that I wanted immediately to return to the airport and fly at least in Goa. If I’m still normal, then she was ready to do it.
AGRA! 03.10.2012
Yay, happy birthday me!!!
Went out on the roof, looked around: cows walking the streets, on the roofs of people sleep on the roofs jumping monkeys quite a lot, quietly the city begins to Wake up, open the first shops, and the main thing is the Taj Mahal – here it is!
Inside the mausoleum are two tombs — Shah and his wife. Time of construction dates back to around 1630-1652 years. The Taj Mahal is a five-domed building height of 74 m on a platform, with 4 minarets at the corners (they are slightly tilted away from the tomb to in case of destruction not to damage it), which adjoins the garden with fountains and swimming pool (swiped)
Ticket to Taj I gave Sasha (750 rupees), surrendering absolutely everything in the safe we went to get acquainted with this mighty and beautiful structure.
He’s gorgeous! But, you know, on TV it seems much more powerful and significant! But still, I was thrilled to witness!
Gorgeous creation!!!
Near the Palace we were given Shoe covers, and the local left shoes on the street and walked barefoot
Street from the Taj so to speak center street strewn with shopping stalls that tout and which is not worth anything to buy, because the price tag there is fabulous! By the end of the streets we managed to get magnets (which I have successfully stolen and not only them – so about India, I got the “wonderful” memories) from 150 rupees to 50 apiece.
Tuk tuk for 100 rupees arrived to Agra Fort, the Driver said that after three hours will be waiting for us on the street that the Fort is huge and before we’re through. We had 1.5 hours!
Sit there such observers!
there’s also Javier fed all the hungry!
Went out and drove there. Well, what to do?! Can’t wait it! Have to agree with the new so he took us to the Baby Taj and Mehtab Bagh Park (do nothing in it, some crap. Except that on the other side of the Taj to see). First, we wanted to take for 400 RUP (we were 4 people), talked him down to 100, then began the divide between the drivers and in the end we arrived in 40, to the Park for 50 – so consider how you can haggle!
Enjoying the “lovely” views of the river, we saw the guy who took water treatment. First floated, and then the sand was brushing his teeth, isn’t she pretty! And we are afraid there water from the tap to drink ))))
By purchasing tickets for the train to Gwalior for 250 Rue in Slipper Class (we took expensive, because they took on tour. the Agency, not at the station), we went to the room to start the celebration of my birthday. Made a champagne cocktail – whiskey, champagne and liquor, ate absolutely delicious oranges and pineapples and more or less normal mango. Then we went to dinner and continue the celebration at a nearby café.
Under the well-known song Happy Birthday I was handed a glass of beer, and I am thrilled)
Ate fine, but now she to eat we couldn’t due to the spiciness of the dishes, even if we asked for mild food – sissy we have it))))
Have long tried to understand why we are so ate a decent score, invited the host institution and after 15 minutes of talking it became clear that beer is not 60 (as asserted by the waiter), and 160, Rue, beware!!!
4.10.2012
In the morning, ate in the same cafe – very delicious there and the owner opened it up already at 7 am, when everyone was still asleep.
Well, in Asia where a lot of these hairdresser!
We did not dare to eat well!
For 100 rupees drove to the station and waited for his train.Came on time, drive a few hours, but on long journeys so my friends decided not to. Looked at us like monkeys. White people, and girls still in t-shirts and shorts
