Our bicycle rickshaw driver Jugno has worked up such a sweat peddling us through the streets of Agra, that is has decided to take us to meet his family on lazy Sunday afternoon. We bring bananas for his wife and on arrival seem to attract the whole of the streets occupants to come and visit the house! It's an incredible experience, the family are so welcoming, living around a small courtyard brothers family and father living in the centre. The daughter congress up a wonderful artistic momento of an integrate henna pattern of our arm and hands, whist the women make us tea and giggle at us! This is one of those priceless travelling experiences that is not found following a map in your guidebook. You make this happen by being open and interested. I take family portraits that I will send over for them to keep, as memories of our trip.
