TravelerDoor has put together a list of the most iconic buildings in the world.
Visiting the Taj Mahal I was very lucky. We were told at sunrise is best. We set the alarm for quite early, looked outside and saw “pea soup fog” so we go back to bed and rise a bit later. At that point in spite of the fog we decide – let’s go. Well! We approached the gate and could not see anything, then every step we took the Taj Mahal started to appear through the fog until by the time we were close we could see it but we were surrounded by fog. Having it appear throught the fog was just the most magical. By the time we came out the fog had lifted.
On this long list I’m happy to say I’ve seen 6 and would say there are 5 I’d really like to see.
