Still in Hampi, soon to catch an auto rickshaw to Hospet for a sleeper bus to Bangalore and a tight connection for a flight to Cochin in Kerala state. That's a change of plan - originally we were going to go back to Goa and then south, but we couldn't get a train to Goa until Saturday.
I mucked up the picture loading again and so the captions to go with the new photos, from bottom to top are: 1. Laxmi, temple elephant getting a bath. She really seemed to be enjoying it. 2. Dana in a new form of transport for us, a caracole, essentially a round reed boat. 3. Dana giving a namaste to a holy man. 4. Dana biking among the rice fields and rocks across the river from Hampi. A tragedy here today you may hear about in the news. The bridge under construction in the background of 2. collapsed later in the day, killing 51 workers. I thought it looked a little dodgy as we were crossing.

Oh dear, does this "just missing the bridge collapse" count as one of your nine lives Dana???
ReplyDeleteNo way! It was only a problem because they closed down the boats going across the river and we had to find a way to transport our bikes l0 miles down the road to the other boat crossing. We could have ridden it in a pinch but were already tired.
