11. Agra - The Red Fort
Agra Getting there! We left from Chittaurgarh station, where there was a cow inside the ticket hall - the Indians thought it really strange that we thought it was strange and were taking photos! First class accommodation - sheets and blankets provided! There are no direct trains so we got off at Bharatpur where we were met with a transfer by road. There were two porters offering to carry our bags but for some reason one of them then carried ALL of our bags - nearly 100kgs and then up a flight of stairs - were he dropped them all. The "friend" just walked behind, laughed when he dropped the bags and then, unbelievably, the man carrying the bags insisted that Amanda gave half of the money to the non-doer!! We arrived at the Bharatpur station very early in the morning - people were sleeping there waiting for their trains. In Agra we stayed at the Trident Hotel, Agra - very comfortable and
