September 24 & 25, 2010

We went to Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh to visit the group of temples. There are three groups, the Western, Eastern, and Southern group of temples. On Friday September 24, after a four hour train ride we got to Jhansi and took a four hour taxi ride to Khajuraho. We went to the Western Group, which it the biggest of the three groups and the most famous. However, we had to get a copy of our passport to pay the student discount and since we had less than an hour to see it we decided to try tomorrow morning. So we decided to go to the Eastern Group of Temples. There were three sets of temples in the Eastern Group. We spent about an hour there seeing the beautiful temples and relaxing. Many of the temples were there for more than 1000 years yet some looked as if they were built just yesterday. We ate dinner at our hotel.

September 25, we got up at sunrise because we wanted to be at the Western Group early. We spent two hours there, by the time we were leaving more groups were coming which is why we decided to go there early to avoid the crowd. We saw many temples and even monkeys hanging around the temples and even climbing the temples. After that we went to eat breakfast and relaxed at our hotel a little bit. We then went to the Southern Group, there was only one temple there but it was still beautiful. After spending about an hour there we left and went back to our hotel and waited for the taxi to take us back to Jhansi to catch the train to Delhi.
