Yesterday was our last stop of our quite extensive (and exhaustive) Rajasthan tour - the famour Taj Mahal in Agra.
To be honest I was not as impressed as I had imagined - the Taj is very nice but it is soooo touristic and you are more or less forced to pay some additional money (to the already very high entrance fee for tourists) to "guides" in order not to wait 20 minutes + in a queue (which is not a queue because the "guides" and the persons at the ticket counter seemingly have an agreement to not to sell tickets to one tourist below 5 minutes processing time...
some pics from the taj as well as other sights such as e.g. the baby taj (and our driver in the past 12 days, prem) can be found under https://picasaweb.google.com/108376587121284252497/Agra02?authkey=Gv1sRgCLmg-YO3296oEA#
