The Taj

After Nainital, we took the train to Delhi.
I wanted to go and see the Taj Mahal, but Michal wasn't too excited. After a long argument (I said "Let's go to the Taj", and Michal said "Okay") we decided to go. We didn't want to spend a night in Agra, so we just took the train from Delhi in the morning, and came back at the evening, staying in the Taj all day. You know what? it's not a bad building after all.
But first thing first, the entrance gate -


And here are some 'classic' Taj photos.


And some close-up pictures...


And some more silly pictures (Thank god for the digital camera!) -


As the evening draws near, the Taj changes its colours from white to pink to red.


Finally the sun sets, always great for taking photos.
