Back in Delhi

Hi

We've now arrived back in Delhi for a final day of shopping!  We're staying at the hotel we first stayed in, so it's like coming home.

Wednesday 3rd August - The Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal was breathtaking.  It was amazing to see.  Definitely a highlight of the trip.  We stayed there until sunset, but unfortunately the sun set behind some cloud, so we didn't see the orange glow.

Tuesday 2nd August - Teej festival and Amber Fort

We dressed up for the occasion at the Teej festival in Jaipur, which is a ladies festival.  When we got there, some local ladies helped to rearrange the saris!  The festival was an experience.  At times, our group had more onlookers than the festival itself.  There was a procession of coconut-decorated towers, followed by elephants, camels, dancers and bands.

We travelled by elephant up to Amber Fort.  It was a bit of a bumpy ride but an experience we will not forget.

Hope you have all enjoyed hearing about our World Challenge expedition to India.  There will probably be one last entry.  See you tomorrow!

The India team.
