The Taj Mahal was all we thought it would be and  more!!!!

The 5 hour journey by mini-bus was fascinating as we passed camels, elephants, cows, rickshaws, motorbikes and buses piled high with people and goods.  On arrival in Agra we were greeted by our guide, Mr Khan.  He expertly guided us around the Taj Mahal.

We have some wonderful photos and are disappointed that we cannot upload them onto this site yet (we will keep trying).  We also visited the Agra Fort and Akabar’s Tomb in Agra.  Akabar was a Mogul Emporer and his tomb was set in the midst of Paradise Gardens.

A truly memorable day!

Best Wishes,

The East Renfrewshire Connecting Classrooms Team

    Dear Mrs Watson,

    Hope you are having a fantastic time in India. We got the text from Miss Ross about getting caught in the thunderstorm – hope you didnt get too wet! Did you find out who was buried in the Taj Mahal? What kind of food are you trying in India? Please remember to try and learn some of the language so you can tell us. We will keep reading the blog to find out what you are up to. Hope you have a good time.
    Best wishes, P3 and Miss Ross
    PS Have a safe journey home.

    Hello to all
    It sounds as though you are having a most amazing experience. Having met the delegation when they came to Glasgow, I am sure you are well looked after. I have been thinking about you all and I bet there are stories to tell on your return. Safe Journey.

    Mrs C Haughney
