Taj Mahal

Hey!

We are now on day 3, and it’s crazy how much we have done in these last couple days! We woke up this morning and had a breakfast of eggs and toast, and then began our day. We first went to the Taj Mahal. 

The Taj Mahal was built by a king of India for his queen, who died giving birth to his child. Her only requests while dying was that the king never remarry, and that she will have a building built for her, as her tomb. The king build the Taj Mahal perfectly symmetrical, the only thing that is not symmetrical are the tomb stones for the king and queen. The Taj is absolutely a magnificent white wonder. 

After the Taj we went to the Aggra fort. Which was basically a big red stone fort. Honestly, I can’t remember exactly what the fort was for, but I think it was for defense purposes. It was beautiful nonetheless! 

Then we got into a car for about 5 hours on our way to Jaipur. We luckily stopped at a very nice restaurant for lunch. Due to the fact that our car driver doesn’t really understand that we are very cheap people. Also speaking of the driver, we were driving down the highway, somewhat an open area, and someone’s phone rings. Our driver looks down at his phone and soon enough accepts the call, however this was no ordinary call, it was in fact a FaceTime call. So while he was driving he was on a FaceTime call with his nephew, it was ok because the little boy was very cute! 

When we reached the hotel we didn’t do much, we unpacked and ate dinner. And then went to bed! Not a super exciting day, but still busy
