and now we're at the Taj Mahal 46 degrees
Celsius but this is a major plus there is nobody here right now
this whole video is going to not have a stabilizer and not have a microphone
so i don't know how good it's going to be
it is 5 am we've been told to get there as early as possible because it is better and it opens at
6. so we've pre-booked online hopefully we get in and there's not a massive line
we have ubered here and apparently it's a 700 meter walk to the gates to get in so we're doing
the walk we did buy our tickets online so i don't know if that's gonna change anything
but we know that we have to line up separately the security checks
we have been here for maybe 10 minutes total and that would be a stretch and we're walking
through already there was no waiting no lines and now we're at the Taj Mahal super efficient
they gave us a free water and free booties when you go in you show your ticket to this
guy that's got fridges and he gives you that which we just ran out of so really thankful it's already
beautiful we can't even see the Taj so i had one mission today and that came from Emily's mum
and that was to get a photo of Emily on the Diana seat
i cannot believe this i was expecting it to be jam-packed but it feels like
we're one of maybe 100 people right now yeah we got some really
wide angle shots that look like we're the only people here which is
insane so we're just taking this in the wonder of the world the Taj Mahal how beautiful it is but i
can't believe we're here it's so intricate and detailed and all of the marvel and the
sunrise is just coming over so it's all got this beautiful golden hue to it i love it people have
already asked for photos i'm being harsh today and saying no because i just want to enjoy the Taj
Mahal and once you say yes to one person that's it that's it all right let's go take more photos
so we have been saying to each other and thinking like it's not
the best idea that we're here during summer because it's so freaking hot
but this is a major plus there is nobody here right now just the one security guard
all right we're about to go inside the mausoleum there is no filming in there so
i'm gonna be turning it off but this is incredible
this isn't breath taking it's just so beautiful i knew it would be i feel like it's one of those
things that you've seen it so much online you know what it looks like because you've seen a
million photos of it so you almost expect that when you get here you're just gonna be like oh
yeah it's what i thought but it's just like it is what you think but it's just another level as well
we are no longer alone there is so many more people here now but i've definitely
seen videos where it's way more packed than this as well so we're feeling very grateful
that we've gotten to experience this the way that we have yeah it's been so nice and
really trying to not use the word majestic but majestic why not i don't know yeah i guess it's
majestic and we found this really nice area to sit it's not an official seat but it's just like
a ledge with a fence and you get a perfect view of the Taj it's a ledge in the beautiful garden
so obviously there's the amazing Taj Mahal that's the main thing you come to see but there's also
these gates on either side a beautiful river on the back and then like the gardens are just
beautiful by themselves as well so we're sitting in the garden in some shade because it's
like 7am and it's starting to get hot yeah but we're just gonna sit here for a while and take
it in and enjoy the fact that we're at one of the wonders of the world look at this view
i can't believe we've been to the Taj Mahal such a bucket list item yep world wonder done
yeah but it's getting hot now and today is going to be 46 degrees Celsius
so we are retreating to the air conditioning and the comfort of our hotel room but we'll be back
out for dinner yeah we are going to the highest rated restaurant on TripAdvisor tease-me it's
called so we'll put it to the test hopefully it's nice yeah yeah i love the Taj though i'm
so grateful that we've been able to come and experience this such a once in a lifetime thing
okay air conditioning and Emily's mom i got the Diana shot you're welcome
it is about five or six hours later and we're starving we've only had two bits of
toast today so we're ready to eat we did in this time go and grab some probiotics so we
walk the streets for a little bit and we're just amazed by how many animals there are
yeah i got really scared by a monkey monkeys everywhere cows like we knew
there was cows but it looked like one cow was waiting in line for some probiotics
i also got to have a nap so i'm feeling all refreshed and ready to eat
just finished our very early dinner at the tease me it is rated number one on Tripadvisor and it
is really cool up there it's a nice vibe i guess people would say kids would say and the chips are
really good the pizza was not that great so if you do come don't order pizza yeah yes we got chips
and pizza again but it's safe we have a big train journey tomorrow so it's not worth the risk yes
yeah i don't want to be bubbly in the tummy for tomorrow so i would say though our hotel
restaurant i would prefer like obviously it's easier to get to but it has a better view as well
yeah and i'd say the food is on par yeah i agree
it is so hot we are just going to get this uber home and go to bed wake up early for a train
ah you gotta get your ticket online buddy
