Leaving the Pink City for Taj Mahal

Johan was feeling a little better when we had to leave the hotel to go to the railway station. This was really good news as it is really not fun to be sick on an Indian train. The journey between Jaipur and Agra is not very long by Indian standards – 6 hours – but we did not go until three o’clock in the afternoon so when we arrived in Agra it was 9 pm and all dark outside. We went for a prepaid taxi and after a short ride we arrived at our hotel.

The area where the hotel is located is not very fancy but our hotel, Seven Hills Tower, was super nice. This hotel was not the most good looking hotel we have stayed in, rather like a very normal international hotel with good standard, but the staff gave us absolutely outstanding service. Always a “Namaste” and a smile ready – also in the early morning hours. And not to forget the doorman with his stylish turban and nice looking clothes at all times.
