DAY 8: TAJ MAHAL

Namaste, I first tell you that we have big problems with the external drive will not know if a virus or that George is sweating because he knows that may be happening, since she can not recover it gives you something ........ ... We are unable to teach any of the Taj. The photos that we put today by train from Delhi to Varanasi, as these if you have access and given that several have asked for here is some photos. Let's see if we are lucky and we can put some successive days.

start with this day: at 6.15 the alarm rings, the shower to collect backpacks and 6.55 were ready, we plant a sandwich while waiting Chaman, we take and the shaman was casting out a nap in the car . Fortunately that is not accompanied by his friend. Leads to the entrance leading to the Taj and from there walked to the door when we arrived we waited 10 min but had no tail since said that he had to get up early but it was not bad. Enter the Taj costs 750 rupees for foreigners and Indians only 20, plus you can not get anything (Indian snuff, food, books. Drink or electronic devices, but the video camera and no problem and do not charge you anything else by them.) As we knew as our friend Chaman had warned us we have left everything in the car only Jorge had the camera and the guidance and Bea fan. The guide and the battery charger we had to leave out on a ticket as frisk you upon entering and have not allowed us pass. To say that such searches have been intense but again I do not know if it is clear that women on one side and men on the other. With the entry you get a bottle of water and some white shoes for the feet. You also have the right to a guide that is supposed to free but then as you imagine, so we do not want guidance. We entered and turning through a doorway wow .............. view of the Taj is amazing, you stand still you can spend hours watching and standing there looking at the Taj without tiring it leaves you imnotizado. Transmits a special magic and although yesterday we saw from a distance when you have around you are surprised as if you had not seen and that is not what you can imagine, normal to be one of the 7 wonders. To us it seemed the most beautiful building we have ever seen (someone may not agree but it is our opinion). Jorge says he transmits a special magic as that felt in Machu Pichu and it is equally surprising and magical. Here is a little history to set yourself in a situation: a complex of buildings built between 1631 and 1654 in the city Agra, Uttar Pradesh state , India, on the River Yamuna , by Emperor Shah Jahan Muslim of the Mongol dynasty . The stunning set was erected in honor of his favorite wife, Arjumand Bano Begum - better known as Mumtaz Mahal - who died giving birth to their 14th child, and it is estimated that the construction demanded the effort of 20,000 workers.
The Taj Mahal is considered the finest example of Mughal architecture , a style that combines elements of architecture Islamic, Persian , India and even Turkish . The monument has been especially well known for the romantic character of his inspiration. Although the mausoleum covered by white marble dome is the most familiar, Taj Mahal is an integrated set of buildings.
is currently a major tourist destination in India. In 1983, he was recognized by UNESCO as Heritage. The Taj Mahal was named one of the Seven Wonders of the World Modern .

We've been around three hours and there are lots of places where you can sit in the shade to watch the wonder of the Taj, certainly worth coming to India if only to see it. We left with regret but we must continue the journey.

Once we have met have bought a postalita Chaman and we have sent, I've certainly not talked about the "mailbox" in India, but they seem no waste bins. From here we left the city of Agra route to Jaipur with a lot of traffic and highway road being continually forced to change from one lane to another without any kind of order. The first part of the journey we went to sleep and eat when we are not streetwise. Chaman we stopped to eat at a road site was apparently well. We called Thalis and truth were rich, they were just a bit hot and we ate well. Now there could be all so nice when we have brought the account ponia Rs 370? .................... We have broken something ................ The account included Chaman food that we do not have to pay and also ours multiplied by two. At first the waiter has agreed to remove the driver's side and ours has been rectified but Jorge has been raised to ask the table next door and they told us that Thalis cost half of what we wanted to collect. Protest again, after a discussion the waiter brings us back to rectify the account but wants to charge 10 rupees more for each Coca-Cola that we take. And ...... kid because you do not know what tripe that we are ................ At the end we give what we believe is fair and keeps grumbling but until then the wig. There are 10 rupees if not the intention to deceive (by the way look for as they say trick in English that we do not remember) yesterday we forgot to tell you that on leaving the Red Fort buy a bottle of water cost 15 rupees, Jorge gives 50 and the guy did not want us to cocoon turns, we had to start screaming and Jorge until threw a juice I had at the counter, laughing on the other hand without the slightest intention of giving us the change. At the end between a police officer Jorge called our driver and the people who gave us swirls Mr. Tango 10 laps trying to Rs ............... in order eventually got our money but is so tired ............................

As we were saying continued our way to Jaipur. The full itinerary has been 5 hours. At 50km, ie an hour to arrive, to Chaman wanted to stop to take tea. The site was the most cumbersome and quirky that you can imagine, pulled out his snuff Jorge has already begun rolling to make friends there, because they draw much attention. So much so that it has changed a cigar which he lia, with another who had an Indian than there were, and it was very interesting because instead of paper had a sheet like slip of paper.

Arrive Jaipur and again the story begins to find a hotel with Chaman taking us where it comes from them. At the end after teaching; Arnos some who were very good but quite expensive one we ended up where his friend was staying with a Filipino couple who yesterday agreed on the Guest House in Agra. The price was good, 300 rupees and called ASHIVIV and although this a bit far from downtown, the site has a great patio and garden.

Upon returning to the hotel after our connection to the Internet and next to where we were a concentration of bikes (how good it was what we thought) but actually was a wedding banquet. We snuck in there and of course we were the attractions since everyone was watching us and wanted to shake hands, they were super nice to us we wanted to invite to dinner and all children, you already swirling. After the typical questions like where you are and you call and when Jorge was taking some pictures of the bride and groom a girl approached me and told me: Hola (English) was an Indian girl and I was shocked, we were half an hour talking and told me he was studying English, ol in Jaipur with a English teacher and that loved our language and what he knew about our culture. The truth was a very pleasant conversation with a girl that looked very cultured. We agreed to see us ma, ana at 8 in our hotel with his teacher who is a girl named Marta Madrid (and will tell you). On the feast of course we were the center of attention as Jorge asked everyone who they should be made photos, so we've seen almost every stage of a wedding here we only have the ceremony. It was a pleasure to be with them and treated us great, not all Indians are equal and we loved the time we spent there. Chiquitos

as they say more and better tomorrow.

kisses and hugs as appropriate.
