The Taj Mahal

Hey A,
It was everything I had ever imagined and such a surreal experience. I was completely in awe when seeing the Taj Mahal from the very first moment.
It took 22 years to build out of white marble, and it really does express the love one emperor had for one of his wives. Inside is delicate mosaic works with the tombs of the emperor Shah Jahan and his favorite wife who was able to give him 14 children.
It's the most beautiful building I have ever seen even giving me chills (just like the Great Wall of China and the Terracota Warriors in Xian did.)
Definitely the highlight of the trip so far just one person was missing :(
Love Em xx
