Indian homestay in Agra, India – Meet the Colonel and his amazing Beard

When I was in India for the first time I had  a couple of nights in a Indian Homestay in Agra.  That was in a home from a Sikh family. That was super. The family was real nice and open to help with everything you wanted.

The man who welcomed us called himself the Colonel. Very nice man. He had a short beard en wore a dastar on his head. I thought he was impressive. His wife, the woman who was inside was very sweet. She also welcomed us with some cold drinks. The room was real clean and comfortable. We stayed on the third floor. On the hallway  was a counter where you could sit and read some. It really looked very nice. There was also a kitchen counter on the second floor which you could use.

The first night I wanted to drink something with alcohol.  Well, they didn’t sell that. But I could go to his wife and she would show me something what they had in their cabinet. It was dusty but yes, there was a bottle with something I could mix with my Sprite. Real  cool that they let me in there own home and let me look in there cabinet. They probably got it from another tourist or something. They will never drink alcohol so it was probably standing there for a long time allready.
