Taj Mahal
This morning we went to Mother Teresa’s Shishu Bhavan, her home for abandoned babies. Some of them had been left in dustbins and were very tiny. They were rescued by the Sisters and are now cared for at the home until they are around six when they are moved to a different house run by the Sisters elsewhere in Delhi. We stayed and played with the toddlers for a couple of hours and found it all very moving.rnrn
rnrnAfter leaving Delhi and taking a 5 hour bus journey along the Indian highway we arrived at Agra and today went to see the beautiful Taj Mahal. The building itself was absolutely stunning, made of white marble and semi-precious stones. After the Taj we went onto a marble shop where they showed us how the marble work on the Taj was produced. It was Kerry’s birthday today and so she chose a present from the marble shop.rnrn
rnrnWe are now heading back on the bus to Delhi where we will catch a plane to Varanasi tomorrow.rnrn
