Day 17 - Agra to Delhi via the new Highway


Up late – but still heavy mist as we head off at 10am.  Our driver ( of little English) has been organized by P.C.  and is half the price of the one quoted by the hotel.  The car is clean and large and we squeeze our ever expanding luggage into the boot.

The trip is smooth on the new highway.  At times we are the only car on the road.  Which is probably a good thing as we can only see 30 feet in front of us at any given time.  It makes for a peaceful run, but it does rather spoil any game of eye spy.  Eye spy with my little eye something beginning with ‘M’.  ummm Mist,  Eye spy with my little eye something beginning with ‘W”.  umm. White.   Umm, I think I am going to read my book  now.

Anyway a smooth and safe journey back into Delhi and back into the same hotel we stayed at before.  The bar staff remember us and when we walk in, our Gins are ready , the nuts are removed from the table and the fresh crisps are opened.    You can’t beat good service.
