We had a few days to spare so decided to do some more temples, for the sake of the parents. The two important site with very impressive temples at Mathura and Vandraven despite the heat were worth a visit.
The Tajmahal at Agra is not what it use to be. The marble is getting a little yellow and is less impressive now than what it was before. Going on a Sunday was also not a good idea due to the very large crowds on the day.
India is fine if one is going on a week or two week holidays and staying in posh hotels, but going on a long tour like the one we did was hard and at times a little tiring.
India for now is done and has been a very worth while trip despite everything.
Our driver during the 1500 miles of travelling was a miserable old chap by the name of Mohiner Singh. He did not communicate very well or tell us much about anything, however he was a good driver and considering the conditions , he got us everywhere safely.
Some interesting road signs on our journey:
1. You sleep child weeps.
2. She will wait if you are late.
3. Life is a journey complete it.
4. Don't nag him let him drive.
5. All will wait.
6. Licence to drive not fly.
7. After whisky drive risky.
8. Peep peep don't sleep.
9.This is a high way not a runway.
Singapore will be, on the other hand , totally different. No car horns, no dusty roads and no noise.

It is great hearing and seeing the sites of India through your eyes because I dont think I would be able to do what you are doing. My style is more the 5 star hotel - I am bit of a chicken in that respect!! Kudos to your parents!! They are amazing. Hope you and Rekha are enjoying all the thrills. Take care and stay safe.
