We were visiting on a Saturday, the busiest day of the week, and even at 7 am it was very crowded here.

Kara was feeling a little sad because Simba, the little lion she has been carrying everywhere since South Africa, was not permitted in the Taj Mahal.  While we were sightseeing Simba was napping in a locker.
