Day 2 - Agra to Guna































































































































































































Paid props to the Taj before leaving Agra. Skidded by Gwalior (quite literally) - bike wheel glanced off a strange narrow-gaugeish track crossing the road at a most devious angle. A helpful cop, also a bullet enthusiast, recommended a local repair shop to tighten the chain and guard. Shivpuri is a beautiful national park with a huge lake and all manner of animals except the tiger. They might also allow a bike into the jungle with a guide, the officials at the Sailing Club said - that's something I'll have to come back for later. This should make a good long-weekend program (appr. 450 km from Delhi). There were some cows on the road ahead and I stopped to photograph them. The kids stopped to look at me - they probably hadn't seen anything weirder than a city case stopping to click cows - so I took a pic of them as well. As I was heading west there was the feeling of riding into the sunset. Reached Guna after dark and took up residence in a 'yatri vishram grah' from the time of the angrez. Was advised to park motorcycle inside the room for security reasons.
