Today we left Atithi Hotel (in Agra) and got the coach to Fatepur Sikri. Fatepur means Victory and Sikri means town so it's name together means Victory town! The King Akbaar made this town and it took him 14 years to build. Although, His family and the people only lived there for four years. King Akbaar is the grandfather or Great grandfather of the King that made the Taj Mahal.
After visiting the town we had our lunch where lots of us were able to eat French fries! We then had a four hour journey on the coach where many of us slept. We got off the coach and entered the hotel where we saw that the walls were being hand painted! We got the coach to the cinema and watched the first half of a Bollywood movie and most of us followed well considering that it was in Hindi! At the interval we left for dinner which was delicious! And most of us danced with some of the local ladies trying out some Bollywood dancing!!!
We are now back at the hotel ready for bed.
Star of the day: Ellie, for being an excellent group leader and being enthusiastic at Bollywood dancing (Lara was a close second, nominated for always putting other people before herself)

What a great time you're having. If you get some shopping time over the weekend you may want to get something to hang on your newly painted walks.
