The Taj Mahal in Agra

I thought I'd share a picture of the Taj Mahal from my trip to India. It really looks gorgeous, especially on this photo. Otherwise it was quite hot, I had a really bad stomach and there were way too many people. Oh, and my camera ran out of batteries as soon as I took a couple of pictures.

So all in all this was not a very pleasant trip. We were also given a guide, included in the hotel/car package, who felt absolutely driven to tell me everything about the history of the Taj Mahal. Love, death, tomb, etc.

Giant centipede

And I thought I knew what a giant centipede looked like! But this thing is really huge, isn't it? Or maybe it is only the camera angle that is enlarging it.

Either way, I would not want to find one of these crawling over me when I wake up.
