Agra and the Taj

So we did get to Agra eventually. We had a little bump getting accommodation because the first place we went to wanted 600 rupees, which is a bit high - but they wouldn't go down any. Fortunately the place next door had equivalent rooms and offered them for 400 rupees without any negotiation required.

Sometimes we are pretty good at negotiating prices. At one place the owner jokingly waved his finger at us and said that we were not Canadian/American but Indian. Especially Kim. Kim is more Indian than me. I tend to give in earlier than she does.

After a bit of lunch we headed straight to the Taj. It's really impressive. By impressive I really mean impactful. When you first see it, it causes a bit of a emotional pause - a little wow. Then you forget about it as you get close and check it out. But then when you look back at it again, you get that same little wow.
