(cont. from last post)

Humayun's Tomb was very similar to the Taj Mahal, it was actually the precursor to it. It was built with red sandstone and more white marble than Qutb Minar, but actually significantly less than than the Taj. We were there for for a very short time, and it wasn't really that interesting.

The last place we went to was the Red Fort, it was huge. You walk a ways down around to the entrance on the outside of the fort. It took us 15 minutes just to get to the entrance, the fort was that big! Again, like every other place we saw, it was made out of red sandstone.

The inside, before you actually get to the fort itself was a very crowded shopping bazaar with shops trying to lure tourists in to buy, buy, buy! But the fort itself had a very pretty garden with blooming flowers and water fountains.

By that time at the end of the day, we were both very worn out and were looking forward to getting to our back to our hotel room!

We got some much needed rest!
