Opinions a side no one can deny you must see the Taj Mahal!!! Since Abu Simbel I had never verbalized "Wow" when seeing a monument!! It helps the fact that contrary to the Gize pyramids or the Eiffel Tower you don't see it comi. You arrive and you think "Are you sure the Taj Mahal is here??". Following one of the recommendations of Marcel, wake up early and see the sunrise as there is less people.....Yeah Right!!! (Although I have to say seeing the amount of people that came during the morning, it's true).

Compensare dient que em vaig passar 4 hores visitant el Taj Mahal, entre fotos de rigor i visitar la tomba a empentes i pura contemplació.

Bueno va, prou Taj Mahal, que mes es pot fer a Agra doncs.....Agra Fort, la fortificació on vivia l'emperador.
Ok, enough Taj Mahal, what more can you do in Agra then...Agra Fort, fortification where the emperor lived.
Perdo no m'he pogut resistir - Sorry I couldn't resist
De res - You're welcome
Ara ve la part de la historia que mes emociona, no només trist el pobre home pq se li va morir la Mumtaz Mahal. Sinó que el seu fill gran se li va sublevar i el va treure del poder, tancantlo els últims 8 anys de la seva vida en aquesta torre on tot el que feia era mirar la tomba de la Mumtaz!!!! En morir les restes, per ordre del fill, van ser portades al costat de la Mumtaz.
Now this is the part of the story that touches you, not only was the poor man sad because of the death of Mumtaz Mahal. But his older son went against him and took him out of power, locking him in this tower for the last 8 years do his life were the only thing he did was look at Mumtaz's tomb!! When he died, by order of his son, he was buried beside Mumtaz.
Aquest petit mausoleu es on hi ha enterrats els avis de la Mumtaz. Com es pot veure no devien tenir massa diners.
This little mausoleum is where Mumtaz grandparents where buried. As you can see I don't think they had much money.
Ultima recomanació del Marcel, ves a veure la posta de sol des de l'altre costat del riu.
Last recommendation from Marcel, go see the sunset from the other side of the river.
