Firstly, Graham booked us very plush accommodation here so we could take in the wonder of the Taj Mahal - a lovely 1970's room with straw and water for air con (con being the right word as it didn't work, sounded like a tractor and they kept switching it off).
A good reason to head out on a day trip to the abandoned city and hear all about Akber the Great. Now he was a lovely chap who had all the power but it turns out he was really a short-assed sex pest with 3 wives and a hareem of 300! Those in the hareem were lucky as he had a giant sized game of ludo in the grounds of his palace and those who reached the centre got to spend the night with Akber - liked his style, not!
Then onto the main attraction - went to see the Taj Mahal at sunset. Have to say it is all it is cracked up to be - stunning, what else can you say....next stop Varanasi...

I must invest in a giant game of LUDO - sounds like the way to go ; )
