We had four days touring Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Most of the time was spent in a bus with our new mate Sanjay (tour guide), his driver Brahmod and Brahmod's assistant Nikhil.
Our first stop, after dropping our gear at the hotel, was a Sikh temple. Thousands of people were being fed from food donated and prepared by volunteers. I helped make some chapatis and we ate our first meal there. We toured Old Dehli and saw a few sites such as the Red Fort and India Gate.
Day three we travelled to Jaipur and saw Fatehehpur Sikri (deserted red sandstone city).
Day four we rode elephants up to the Amber Fort followed by the City Palace, a tuk tuk ride to the flower market and evening dinner show.
Day five we travelled to Pune and then out to Mukti (home to many young women) where I will be staying for 5 weeks.
