We took the train to Agra, home of the famous Taj Mahal! This tomb is as nice as poeple say, all made of white marble and incrusted with colorfull stones. The king built this mausoleum in memory of his wife who died while giving birth. He was then put in in jail by his son and could see the Taj from his cell until his death, not really a happy ending!
We also went to Fatepur Sikri, a ruined city 40km from Agra. We visited there the 2nd biggest Mosque ok India. We went there during a pilgrimage, people walk 90km to a temple nearby and do a lot of noise on the way!
