After much itinerary planning, Adrian and I set off for the Taj on our third day in India. We hired a private car to take us as it was quite short notice and not on our way to anywhere else. In retrospect, this was a good idea as we were still jet-lagged and unable to sleep and so we got to watch India go by as we sat lulled by the car and its constantly blaring horn. The road trip was quite an education, lemme tell you what. India is the third world. I know that is not politically correct, but there is no other way to describe what we saw on the way to Agra from Delhi.
The Taj is beautiful and lives up to all expectations. Our favourite part was that as it is not prime tourist season, we got to enjoy the Taj with Indian tourists. The women were all dressed in their finery and floated towards the large white mausoleum like butterflies to their palatial home.
