Taj Mahal – unfeasibly gorgeous

Like beauty & the beast the Taj Mahal is threatened on all sides by the festering dump that is Agra. Just to make it interesting we picked up a bad dose of food poisoning on the way into town & had a difficult, sleepless night the details of which you really don't want to know.

Despite this the Taj is immeasurably more beautiful than images can portray. It moved us like no other built structure we've seen.

Yes there were 2-300 other tourists there even at 7am & yes C was so weak she could hardly walk but our visit must rank as one of the highlights this or any other trip. Here's some of our photos but you really ought to try & pop along & see it for yourself…
