The Taj Mahal, also known as the pearl of India and probably the most iconic monument in the country was the first stop on our bucket list when we arrived in Agra.
I was so excited to get the chance to visit this legendary site as I'd researched so much about the Taj Mahal for a previous project of mine a few years back. It was quite surreal to be able to see it in real life as it's definitely been on my bucket list for a while.

The morning starts super early, in the middle of the highway from Varanasi to Agra. We stopped by the side of the highway for a quick breakfast of pretty much just cay, Indian tea.
The journey between cities was 14 hours and there were 14 of us cramped into one travel van... people, bags, gear and production equipment all sardined into one very confined space. Not the most comfortable of journeys but the company made up for it by being extra fun and keeping the journey very interesting.
We finally arrive in Agra and freshen up which felt like a slice of heaven after being smothered up together. We also were in dire need of food so some of the team and I went to eat. Arif was not well at all with a fever and an upset stomach. and Bella was down with the flu while also dealing with her cow accident from the day before.
So with half the team down, the rest of us went to find food... KFC!
I. Was. Not. Happy. About this AT ALL.
But I was out numbered so I didn't have much of a choice. Didn't vlog the experience because... NO. hehe. #FitnessLife
But I won't lie. I did feeling much much better with food in my stomach.
I was also very excited for what was coming next!
A visit to the Taj Mahal.
Hidayat knows India very well, so he promised to take us to see a view of the Taj Mahal not everyone gets to experience.
Again, most of the team was too tired to come out with us so Syahid, Hidayat and I went together. We met up with the rest of the guys when we got there as well, so it was a pretty decent group of us.
Hidayat definitely delivered on the view. We saw the Taj from the back, from the banks of the Yamuna River. The river was pretty dirty... well... actually, it was absolutely drowning in rubbish. Quite a pity because the view was stunning. But still, it didn't take away from the magnificence of the Taj Mahal.
After an hour or two long photo session, we went to get some ice-creams. A great way to end a day of very healthy eating. lol.
Once I got back to the hotel, I ended the vlog.
Needed an early night. The next day, we spent more time exploring Agra.
