Got up at 5 to watch the sun rise over the Taj (except that it rises to the left of the Taj) and discovered that it was misty. Never mind.
Had a walk around and looked at the tomb. It's very nice but mobbed.
Watched a great scam by an old guy. All the foreign tourists are given free disposable shoe covers to wear inside the tomb. After they have been in, everyone throws these away but the old guy takes them out of the bins and then sells them on to the Indian tourists for 10R a go (and even some clueless foreigners who haven't realised that they already have some) We watched hime for about half an hour and he was raking in a fortune. You have to admire his ingenuity.
