Day 1 of cycling in India

Plan was to ride to the Taj, pose for a group photo, and then leave town in a convoy before the traffic built up. However, the fog was thick, so no Taj in the background, and a couple of hours of riding in cold fog (5 degrees) . Very Atmospheric conditions for the 60 k ride, supplemented by the smoke from all the fires by the side of the road. We were served lunch at the hotel in Bharatpur, and then we went to visit the bird sanctuary next door. Dave and Hendric and I rode our bikes 10k in and back out, seeing storks, deer, kingfisher, turtles, nd lots more. Lovely quiet sanctuary with lots of wildlife. Back to the hotel for briefing and dinner.
