Day 387: Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
New Delhi – Agra, India
Entry written by Anneleen:
Monday the 27th of August we left really early in the morning with our driver Raju for a few hours driving to Agra. When we arrived in Agra we first visited the Taj Mahal, the famous big white palace, built by emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife Mumtaz Mahal, who died when she delivered her 14th baby. It was really beautiful en worth visiting, but quite crowded (quite normal in India ). Because we had “expensive tickets” we could pass all the cues. We had to wear funny shoe covers. Because of the rain, the marble floor was quite slippery. The Indians tried to make pictures of us, we felt like a celebrity!
We also visited the Agra Fort, where we saw a David Bowie dog, with one brown and one blue eye.
