Compared to indian cities like Delhi, Khajuraho is a pretty relaxing place. We enjoyed to stay there, but at that time we didn't know that for one very good reason, we would probably be stuck in Khajuraho for a while: Mumbai was under attack by a terrorist organisation, close to al-Qaeda.
Later, in the evening, we were informed that barricades and checkpoints were erected by the police on key roads, all over India. So, we expected transportation troubles between Khajuraho and Jhansi, our next destination.
At that moment we had two alternatives: stay in Khajuraho for a while, or beeing driven to Agra by an aggressive swindling idiot. Finally two boys, Bhaiya and Kaushlendra - with which we became friends, told us that one of their uncles, could drive us to Jhansi.
Drivers carrying tourists were allowed to pass the checkpoints without problems, so the next day we drove along many traffic queues without beeing controlled. The first driver (the aggressive idiot), knew that, so he was probably pretty angry, sitting in his car, he missed the deal of his life: avoiding all the queues and checkpoints and earning a lot of money for driving two stupid tourists to Agra, where he wanted to go anyway. Too bad, that we didn't see him in the queue. :-)
