Overland trek 19: Agra

[angel80]

Agra was about 5 hours by bus south from Delhi. We travelled through somewhat dusty countryside - a decade later the road apparently traversed an industrial belt, but it wasn't so in 1970. Agra itself was not very enticing, but just outside the town there are two major attractions the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort
