Sat Mar 27, up early again this time to see the sun rise at the Taj.We were amongst the first people on the grounds and it was extra special to see it without thousands of people around. Although the crowds show up soon enough.W e got the requisite pictures of us on the white marble bench that Diana sat on. Admission is a whopping 750 rupees per person, to give you an idea of how expensive that is, our hotel for the 3 of us was 450 rupees for the night.Tourists pay the 750 rupees but Indians themselves only pay 50 rupees.Security is very tight, they pat down everyone and confiscate the most bizarre things,( my gum and Lara's traveling gnome) . We left Agra at 7:00 pm to go to Sawai Madhopur and do our safari in Ranthambore National Park. More on the train ride from hell later, but the amazing part is we did manage to see a tiger, he sauntered directly in front of our jeep, about 20 feet away, it made the whole trip worthwhile..
