Today we're going to Pakistan, but before that, we'll try to find the Taj Mahal.
Getting
clearance from Tower before departing Delhi airport.
From
my Encarta maps, the Taj Mahal is near Agro which is about 110 miles southeast
of Delhi. If we can find a river near the Agra airport, it shouldn't be
hard to spot. After reaching Agro airport, the river Yamuna isn't far
off. Just follow the river and you'll reach the Taj Mahal! You
can check out real pictures here.
Another
look at the beautiful mausoleum completed in 1649.
We
turn back to Delhi and continue on our way to Pakistan. The peaks of the
Himalayan can barely be seen on our right...
Nice
landing at runway 12...
... and parking next to a Pakistan
Airline A310.
