From Delhi I travelled North into Uttar Pradesh to Agra famous for leather shoes and the Taj Mahal. I hired a driver who was fantastic and took me to all the places i wanted to see in the north this was highly advisable as it would have taken probably three weeks to negotiate trains and buses ! Agra its self was not really that interesting or impressive as a city itself, most people just stopping on route to the Taj. I stayed in an average guest house, most of the locals work on in the tourist industry as tour touts who are a real pain in the bum and harassed me to death to pay them for a tour which i did not want but they spoil the ambiance somewhat when they don't leave you to enjoy the sun set or rise at the taj mahal (madam tour please take tour you need tour! arrrrrgggghhh !!!) Luckily my driver told them where to go in no uncertain terms !!!
