Today is an important day. Today started off with heavy fog. We left Abhaneri and headed towards Agra.
I visited the Taj Mahal in the afternoon. It was disappointing with the fog lingering in the afternoon.
*Anyone thinking of seeing the Taj Mahal in the morning would be disappointed with the fog situation.
The Taj Mahal is a must see site (if you can see it). You cannot visit India without visiting this most famous tourist site. There is a lot of pressure on the Taj Mahal to be impressive as some of the stuff I have already seen have been very impressive.
It is a very symmetrical structure. Many pictures look the same but they are from the different sides. You will be Taj'ed out.
The Taj Mahal may just be over hyped...yes it is. I just prefer certain palaces and forts. It didn't help that the Taj Mahal crazy busy with tourists like myself. Just too many people.
I am hoping that the fog is not as bad tomorrow when I visit Agra Fort and Akbar's Tomb.
I found a Starbucks 'copy'. I also ate my first Indian McDonald's (chicken burger). It wasn't that tasty... but it was very cheap compared to the Australian price. I even found some cheap accommodation if one was tight on their budget.
