Red Fort Agra

The morning after the Taj Mahal we visited the Red Fort (Mughal empire era) before leaving Agra, bound for Delhi.

It is another impressive place to see from history, albeit partially damaged by subsequent marauders (including the British).

I don't have copies but again we were asked by many locals to join their family photos. 

We didn't feel completely like aliens but it's close. There really haven't been many 'pale' European looking people around during our while trip. 
Carpet shop (trap). We were also escorted to jewelery and textile traps. I described them as the lowlight when asked by the tour leader. 
Food tour
Can't afford a van.
Can only afford a shared bike with my mates.
Red Fort
Tall gate to enable elephant passage, with glorified seating.
Impressive ventilation structures, including rose petal infused water channels.
....now on to Delhi
