Hampi baby!

We said our good byes to johanna and chris and started our epic journey......
5 hour taxi drive across mountain tops with cobble roads and shear drops,
12 hour sleeper train where somebody  had taken our bed!
9 hour bus journey across the rockyest terain i have ever witnessed.
30 min  rickshaw  ride  in the pitch black with little to no headlights.

I think its fair to say that we deserved a good cup of chai! we got settled in our room then hit the town to see what hampi had to offer? we found a nice restaurant which to my delight served burgers! halelulia!

Since then we have been doing all the sights, see about 20 temples all stunning! Its really bizar it is not like the rest of india at all! the temples look mexican and there are strange mountainous rock formations everywhere which you can see from the pictures!

Went out shopping today and did some haggling that even an indian would be proud of. we have found that the best trick to play is to get an amount out and say that that is all you have! always works!

Anyway we are disturbing our hosts dinner time. happy reading!!!!!
