Faktepur Sikri and Pink City....finally travelling a bit

On saturday afternoon whole CC got on bus(nice indian bus..hehehe) and we went to see Faktepur Sikri:

"The royal city at Fatehpur Sikri, situated 26 miles west of Agra, was built at the orders of the Mughal Emperor Akbar. While Akbar himself was illiterate, he took a keen interest in literature, architecture, and the arts. He is also reputed to be a very tolerant ruler, and the buildings at Fatehpur Sikri blended both Islamic and Hindu elements in their architectural style. One of the buildings even reflects the new sycretistic faith founded by Akbar, Din-e-ilahi, which though very short-lived remains a matter of controversy."

It is an awesome complex...the only problem was that we were the only foreigner there, so all the sellers were following each step of ours and there were lots of random guys who were trying to be a tourist guides...so they just followed us, all the time repeated "i dont want money"...but otherwise we all loved the trip, I will soon post some pictures.

Then after coming back to hotel Sheela Inn:) we just had dinner and 10 of us went to Jaipur, we just randomly caught some bus....welll...to be honest that was my worst bus ride in my life...at night jumping on the last seat .... we were going on highway, but to be honest I felt like we are going through some fields, but finaly in the morning after six hours we reached teh lovely city Jaipur...called also Pink City.

We did a lot of sightseeing thanks to Adil, who took us in the car. We went also to Tiger Fort to see teh city from birds perspective. Jaipur is seariously THE city...it is organized, clean, nice:) Now I am back in Agra working for IC:)Soon I will upload some pictures from the best weekend in India:)
