After 2 hours on a 1st class train (we have even being served with a breakfast), we arrived to one of the most touristic places in India - Taj Mahal.
what can we say about this place that haven't been said before ? probably nothing ...
the place was built as a monument for love, in 1648 the emperor - "Shae Jahan" decided to build this magnificent building for his dead wife, it took him almost 20 years to accomplish this project, during that time there were 20,000 people who worked very hard to do so.
not happy end 1: the emperor decided to chop off the master architecture's hands so he won't be able to copy his master piece in the future.
not happy end 2: this emperor was eventually arrested by his own son and was locked out in a fort which has a view to the great monument.
not much more to tell, the photos will tell it all about this very impressive place.
