The Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal

More to see from Incredible India :)

The day before my last day in India, I visited the Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal. It was an all-day guided tour. I tried with grandiose will power to listen and retain what the guide was saying. The remnants of that tour shall now be immortalized in this blog post.

Namaste, India!

I arrived in India on May 22, 2013 at 2 a.m.

I felt a little nervous upon arrival at the airport because I was supposed to avail of the visa-on-arrival. I thought I wouldn't have enough dollars or requirements on me, etc. But 40 minutes, 2 filled-up forms and USD $65 later, my passport has been stamped.

Another thing that I felt a bit nervous about was the driver that was supposed to pick me up. I think I may have made him wait for quite a long while already and I had no way to tell if he was still at the airport or if he even arrived there. But nevertheless, I was able to spot him as soon as I exited the customs security check area and eventually make it to my host's house.

Here are the places I went to on my first day and some random things I saw. :)
