Baby Tja Mahal

I don't get it. A ride of maybe two kilometers by moto-rickshaw "tuck tuck" runs at about 30 Rupies. Twice the distance by metro subway train is only six! OK, the metro doesn't nessecarily go everywhere you want to since they only have three lines. Funny though, everywhere else everyone doesn't give a damn about who was first and who was next. But at the metro they neatly stand in line and wait their turn at the security check. I guess it's the uniforms. But they have security checks at all the metro entrances where they search you for weapons and check your bags. There are armed soldiers behind shelters of sandbags in the passages and men with rifles patroling. OK, paid my visit to the president's palace (actually I only got as far as the fence before yet an other guard blew his wistle at me). And the Gate of India, the "Arc de Triomphe" of Delhi. That's someting truely to kill time, definitly not a must see. But then I saw Humayun's Tomb. They call it the Baby Taj Mahal. It really looks a little like it. Strolled around the grounds until I felt at home... Awesome sight in the changing light of late afternoon.




Tomorrow though I'm heading out to Agra, to see the real thing, baby!
See you all then.
