Today is the holiday of Holi. The main way to mark the holiday is to cover yourself and your friends with brightly coloured packets of paint powder. So almost everyone is walking around looks as if they have had an argument with the Homebase's, mix your own paint machine. Managed to avoid a few close shaves, including a close encounter with a water bomb.

 The train I caught from Delhi to Agra starts in the foothills of the mountains and ends in Puna some 2000Km away. It takes forty hours to travel the whole route, making my 3 hour trip rather insignificant. Maybe the managers of southern rail should come out here for a masterclass on how to run a train.

 Agra is a lot greener than I remembered it, with a peaceful park in the centre. It's the Taj everyone comes to see though. Some 3 million visitors a year. Twice the population of the city.
