Delhi and Agra (Taj Mahal) (8/5 - 8/9 -07)

Brian, Reginald and I spent about 3 days in Dehli, the capital of India. My first impressions of India weren't very positive - a lot of poor people, small children and young mothers with babies begging at every coner and at every red light. Driving was an adventure by itself, even though there are lines on the roads, nobody actually uses them - in a three lane road at least five cars will try to fit next to each other!!!
Agra is the place where the famous Taj Mahal is located and it was one of the best destinations in our trip. We spent a few hours in the Taj Mahal, taking photos from every angle and looking at how the colors change depending on the sun. The second site was the Agra Fort, where the builder of Taj Mahal, Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, was put in jail. He was put here by his own son, because he wanted to build a second Taj Mahal all over again on the other side of the river, this time with black marble, for himself.

Brian, Reginald a ja jsme stravily 3 dny v Dehli, hlavnim meste Indie. Moje prvni dojmy z Indie nebyly zrovna positivni - velka bida, male deti a mlade matky s miminky zebrali na kazdem rohu a na kazde krizovatce. Rizeni bylo dobrodruzsvim samo o sobe, i kdyz i v Indii maji na silnicich pruhy, nikdo je temer nepouziva - na trojpruhove silnici bylo vedle sebe nejmene pet aut!
Agra, misto kde je postaven Taj mahal bylo jednim z hlavnich bodu naseho vyletu. V Taj Mahalu jsme stravili nekolik hodin, fotili jak divi a sledovali, jak se odraz Taj Mahalu meni s pohybem slunce. Dalsi zastavka v Agre byla Pevnost Agra, kde byl na konci zivota uveznen stavitel Taj Mahalu a to vlastnim synem, kvuli tomu, ze se chystal postavit druhy Taj Mahal na druhe strane reky, tentokrat z cerneho mramoru, pro sebe.
