Day 24 - Monday 4 March

Agra - Day 2 - Delhi


We were picked up by our driver, and guide, Shazeb, for an early start at the Taj Mahal. Initial signs were that it would be low visibility - https://www.wonders-of-the-world.net/Taj-Mahal .


no instruction needed for Di! 


slowly the haze started to lift, and so did optimism 

then there were blue skies!
