The Agra Fort, and Another Bus Ride from Hell

This morning we set off for the extremely long drive to Jaipur (If you knew how horrible the roads were here you would understand how awful these long bus rides are). Before heading on the road we went to the Agra Fort. This fort was where Shah Jahan was locked up for 7 years by his son Aurangzeb. He was eager to become the next ruler of the Mughal Empire, so he put his father in a place with a view of the Taj Mahal so he could see the place where his beloved wife was buried. This fort was way more than I expected from a fort. It had beautiful courtyards and was very spacious. On another note, there were so many cute monkeys here! But apparently monkeys here are vicious so I kept my distance of course!
After the fort we headed on the road and stopped forl at one of the most beautiful hotels in India. It took them an hour to prepare for lunch, so while we waited we got to lounge by the pool, which was really great. They had a spa there so I considered getting a massage, but Sully and Caroline beat me to it and there were only 2 masseuses. When they got back they said they were completely naked and were pretty much just being rubbed with oil the whole time (definitely glad I wasn’t able to get one!)
We spent about 6 hours on the bumpy bus until we arrived at the hotel in Jaipur. This hotel seems pretty decent and they have free wifi, yay! I got pizza at a place next door, which was nice because I definitely don’t like Indian food enough to eat it at every meal. Tomorrow we have a very busy day ahead of us, including going to a movie theater to see a Bollywood movie that just came out! That should be interesting considering it’s going to be in Hindi!
