Hampi

I took a bus from Hospet to Hampi - the road was not that easy as the rain has caused some serious effects and we had to drive through a river looking a bit like this.

Hampi was the royal city of Vijayanagar Hindu empire and features a lot of temples, compounds, stables and pleasure baths surrounded by an astonishing landscape. I took an rickshaw to take me around all the sights, as by walking I would have needed several days.
