I went to see the Taj Mahal and I saw a stoat

I'm big fat stinky tourist and so I went to see the Taj Mahal.
Verdict - beeaauuutiful.
It is the most romantic place (for those who don't know, this guy had it built when his wife died out of love for her). It's on a raised platform so that when you look at it the only backdrop is sky. The day we went the sky was the most amazing blue, not like blue skies in England it was kind of a hazy soft blue...sky sky sky, blah blah blah.
Yeah, so we wanted to have a 'Diana' moment so we took pictures of us sitting in front of it looking miserable. That was fun then we wondered around and saw some really cool birds in the trees and oddly enough, a stoat. At least we think it was a stoat. We seem to get more excited about the animals we see in India than anything else. We saw loads of pigs that day, rolling around in the stinky drains. We were very excited about that as well.
Anyway, so foreigners have to wear shoe covers to go in, Indians go barefoot as it seems the assumption is that foreigners can't be walking on the floor cos the marble gets really hot in the sun. So we plod into the Taj with our ridiculous big shoe covers, and it's really dark in there. It's so bright outside that it takes a few minutes for your eyes to adjust. It's a really simple design, all white, and there are birds flying around. There's loads of stuff from the Qu'ran written on the walls, and really simple patterns. Some women were tutting at us because our hair wasn't covered, which is odd because although their's was, loads of other Indian women were there without their heads covered too. It seems that anything we do that might be a little incorrect is much worse here than if an Indian was doing the same thing.
I got chatting to a lovely girl called Rupa (what a great name) who was up for the day from the south of India. I've had some amazing conversations with people since I got here, but more on that later.
Anyway, I'm finding it hard to follow my own thread here due to accidental whiskey induced madness last night which must have killed a good few brain cells and has totally wiped out my memory.
