Visited Agra

While we now embark on this 1 year journey, we thought we must start from India, and from the land of love i.e. Agra! 

We we booked a 1 way ticket to Delhi, hopped on a train to Agra and visited the Agra Fort (this is also called the Lala Quila), the Taj Mahal and Itmad-ud-Daula. 

Agra isn't a modern city and still feels like I am in 1980s India. Very disappointing!

At Agra Fort

You can see the Taj Mahal & the Yamuna River in the background. 

Entering the Taj Mahal at 6:00 AM the next day. 

Seeing it for the first time, I got goosebumps. Almost had tears in my eyes. 

The was drizzling all morning, however that meant we had less crowds and more opportunity to take photos. 

Our guide was a decent photographer too. 

Even on a cloudy morning the Taj looked phenomenal.

One of the exit gates, I suppose. 

We then went to Itmad-ud-Daula, and the stone work was a piece of art. 

We met this Bengali couple and they took our photo. May be it's just me, and my photo skills, but I need to take 15 photos to just get that 1 perfect photo. 😁

I shall try and write more as we travel more in India and then other countries during the next 1 year.
