The Real Marigold Hotel - Season 1 - Episode 2
The group start to settle into normal life in India, with Wayne and Bobby taking a trip to the barbers for a cut-throat shave, and Miriam and Patti making a visit to the local laundry woman to see how things are done Indian-style. Jan, who has a keen interest in astrology, attends a psychic guru and is astounded at his profound observations on her life. The group really take to yoga, learn some Hindi and take advantage of the cheap and impressive medical care. After undergoing some tests, both Miriam and Rosemary hear some news they didn't want to hear but needed to know. Their first big night out is to the swanky Paladio, popular with local ex-pats, where Wayne finds out about attitudes to gay people in India and Jan discovers how easy it would be for her as a single woman to move out here. To round their second week off, the group test out long-distance travel by taking a 150-mile trip to the jewel in India's crown, the Taj Mahal. Miriam, Rosemary and Wayne make the most of travelling by train, an unforgettable experience, while Roy, Patti and Jan take the chauffeur-driven car option. The Taj Mahal, the world's most impressive monument to love, makes the group reflective and its sheer beauty brings Miriam to tears.
