taj mahal

New Delhi to Agra

I left Mumbai and I got to spend a day exploring the tourist spots in New Delhi.  One thing I have to say is that everything had a very grandiose and magnificent feeling to it.  There was lots of inlaid stone and marble with intricate carvings all wrapped up in large scale structures.  It was definitely very impressive to see the scale and magnitude, while also seeing the fine detail.

The next morning, I woke up early to make the 2-3 hour drive to Agra to see the Taj Mahal.  It was so incredibly foggy I was really worried about how my pictures would come out. 

It wasn't the blue sky I was hoping for but there's no turning back now.  When I arrived, I was informed I only had 2 hours before they shut the whole thing down to kick everyone out due to a VIP coming.  I suspect it was Obama's team to come scope out the logistics of his planned visit to the Taj Mahal. 

After leaving the Taj Mahal, I had some extra time so I stopped by the Agra Fort before heading to the airport.
