We hired ourselves a driver to take us from Jaipur to New Delhi, via an overnight stay in Agra. The journey was pretty uneventful and we arrived in Agra in the early afternoon. I'd heard from other travellers, that Agra was a pretty crappy town and it sure is. It looks like the cesspool of India. It's disgustingly polluted and just plain old horrible... It's really hard to believe that something as beautiful ass the Taj Mahal can be in a town as shitty as Agra.
We arranged for our driver to pick us up at 7am the next morning to take us to the Taj, as we wanted to arrive before all the tour groups did. I'm glad we did because it was relatively quite, by Indian standards when we arrived. 
The Taj Mahal is beautiful. When you catch your first glimpse, it quite literally takes your breath away. It is quite simply amazing...
While we were walking around the most bizarre thing happened!! We spotted an American guy, JR, whom we'd met in Cairo 3 weeks earlier. He had only arrived in India and we were nearly leaving, but what are the chances of us running into each other again, in India, at the Taj Mahal at 7am? Coincidence, perhaps? We mentioned to JR that were heading to South East Asia after India, and he said he'd be heading that way a few weeks later, and he looked forward to bumping into us again... Seriously, if that happens, I'll be freakin' out!
