Tony and friends outside the "Taj"

On the final week in India classes were over and it was time to pack our bags say our goodbyes to our new friends and set off for Delhi. Some of us got a little emotional, we were sad to leave our in friends in Hubli but we were also really excited classes we over and that there was going to be more site seeing involved in Delhi. We left Hubli on an early Tuesday morning and travelled by bus almost all day because it took us approximately eight hours to get to the Royal Plaza hotel in Delhi where we would be staying. As soon as we got there, we called our friends in Hubli to inform them of our safe arrivals and brag a little about how fancy looking The Royal Plaza was.

After a good night's rest, we set off for Delhi the following day we would have a busy couple of days ahead of us as scheduled by Professor Mehta. We visited the Taj Mahal which is the seventh wonder of the world. The history about The Taj Mahal as our tour guide explained was that in 1630, there was a king who truly loved his wife, she had bore him thirteen children but died while delivering the fourteenth child. The king was saddened by this and asked his dying wife for her last wishes. The queen asked for three things, one that he built her the biggest most beautiful burial site anyone has ever seen so that the world would know that these two had been the most loving couple that ever lived, her second wish was that he would not marry anyone else after her death and the third, that he would love all their children unconditionally. The king saw to it that all his queen’s wishes were fulfilled starting with the construction of the Taj Mahal.

Among the other sites that we visited iclude the Red fort, Mahatma Gandhi's Burial site, a mosque, a huge temple and an arts museum.
