It’s been a lifetime’s ambition, and here we are. Even more stunning than expected.
And that’s after a long day. Indeed, Eileen puts it as possibly one of the best ever.
Start wasn’t overly auspicious. As we have been in the centre of Delhi, we have clearly missed the notorious traffic. Today we found it. Difficult to describe, but if you imagine 6 or 7 cars abreast on a 4 lane road and all dodging in and out and darting for gaps and avoiding motorbikes, tuk tuks, pedestrians and cows, that’s a start.
But eventually we got on to the main Agra highway – think M40 but less interesting, especially on a grey misty day.
And despite the proximity of a World Heritage Site, Agra is pretty glum.
And that was not even close to the bad bits.
Not surprisingly took rather a lot of photos of the Taj Mahal – here are a few
Taj Mahal with goats
Taj Mahal with more birds
Birds without Taj Mahal
A look back on the way out
The thing is, Eileen had already made the comment about the amazing day before that. More of that in Part 2.
