Those were the three key elements to yesterdays outing to the Taj Mahal. But it was worth every minute of it. the city of Agra is about 4 hours from Delhi, in very interesting highway. Once we were out of the main stretch in Delhi it got smoother, but it was not uncommon to see carts being pulled by humans, cow, and camels all in the same stretch.
However walking through the gate into the gardens was truly a moving experience. we went all out with it as well, complete with the "tourist" photographer. we didn't really want him to take out pictures, but he kept posing us and taking them. It turned into such a funny experience that we did end up buying the photos after all.
But things changed when we were leaving the Taj. we were supposed to go to the Agra Fort, but the weather told us otherwise. when we returned to our car (not driven by us) the skies turned orange and menacing, and within seconds the winds kicked up and we were engulfed by sand. Which after 20 minutes turned into pouring rain. and with no sign of letting up, we called it a day and made out trek back to Delhi.
