We're up early on the train to Agra from Jaipur, even though it arrives a couple of hours late, we are still in time to get to the Taj in time for sunset. Our hotel has a great rooftop restaurant to sit and gawp at the Taj over a beer but we've hit it lucky as its World Heritage Day which means that its free to get in, so we don't hang around and waltz through past the ticket office. The Taj is stunning - beautiful and serene, and pretty perfect in every aspect, apart from the crowds of tourists
Watching the sunset is one of the most memorable and breathtaking experiences that we have had so far. The colour of the building changes by the minute, and more and more tourists leave - we're one of the last to be ushered out by security.
The Taj isn't lit up by night, but we find another roof top bar to sit on and gaze into the darkness over a couple of beers...
