At first sight, the Taj Mahal doesn't look as big as you'd hoped it to be, in fact it looks a bit tiny to be one of the 'Wonders of the World'. Seems to be an illusion though as it takes a long time to walk to it. By the time you get to the front door, it's quite impressive. Final resting place of some Sultans wife, never found out the name (not paying for a guide!). The towers around the outside of the Taj are built leaning away from it, so when they eventually fall over they don't land on the palace. Had to get up at 5am to avoid the crowds but it was definitely worth it. There's even a picture of me somewhere sitting where Princess Diana was in that famous phone (I'm not as photogenic as she was, however).
