Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: The Taj Mahal is one of the many sights you can take in if you travel the long; fascinating road from Calais on the French coast to Trivandrum at the southern tip of India. The whole route has attractions but you get more contrasts and surprises between New Delhi and Trivandrum than on the longer run between Calais and the Khyber Pass. And vastly more human interest. So if you haven't the time to spare to make the whole trip you might consider renting a car in New Delhi and travelling just the Indian segment down to the south coast. It could be memorable.
