Agra Day 2

We spent the morning at the hotel, after long late breakfast Dhun & her sibs popped into her aunt's and then we went to the Taj Mahal in the afternoon for the sunset. Although we've been there before it's hard to describe how amazing it is, it's impossible to look away its beauty is so captivating.
The guide we hired was excellent - very knowledgeable & he also took fantastic pictures ! The Taj was completed in 1553 and took 22 years to build, and is Indo Persian architecture. It's built of roman style clay brick covered in marble inside and out.
We stayed for hours through the late afternoon, sunset and dusk (leaving as it closed / when it was dark).

We got back to the hotel and then out to restaurant for dinner.

Another moving day tomorrow as we head to Kanpur where Dhun's dad is from and many of her dad's family still live.Read more
