I walk around the township of Hampi, with a clear head. I was finally awake enough to see the finer details. Lining the streets was small tourist trinket shops all begging you to come into there shops. I walked straight pasted and headed for the surrounding rocks, temples and stones.
It is really hard to write about this town, so I am just going to post photographs to show you what is like. To date this is my favorite place in India. I could have stayed here for much longer, but I had to get somewhere to organize my Pakistan visa.

| In the morning the cows were herded through the city to the feild |
 |
| These are a lot like the round fishing boats I saw in Vietnam |
 |
| I watched this woman curl up in the shade of this stone and fall sleep... Indians can sleep anywhere |
 |
| I came across this tree, it had small bags and cloth tied to the tree with stones to weight it down |
 |
| And piles of stones around the base of the tree |
 |
| A woman carrying refreshments on her head |
 |
| No matter where you go in India you always find a single shoe |
 |
| Another one |
 |
| Everyone in the world has to do their washing, its a common thing which i love to look at. |
 |
| Filling up their water buckets |
 |
| A small detail carved into the temple walls |
 |
On my second day of wondering, I got out my Ipod, listening to Indian
|
 |
| I actually just finished filming myself when I turned around and nearly stood on this guy. Thats before he climbed the wall! |
 |
| And one more lost shoe - does the owner walk with only one on to go home? |

 |
| Every morning, I would come out of my guest house to find these goat still in bed! |
 |
| I walked to the top of the mountain that towers above the village. I had to be very careful as the huge pieces of stone were actually quite loose and in some places I had to climb over large bolders |

 |
| On the other side, I found nice new set of stairs. |
 |
| Every time i turned around I could help but gasp at the contrast between the natural stone and the carefully constructed stone stair case. |
 |
| At the bottom, I found myself in this tiny path, coming around the corner I scared the living s**t out of myself and a local! |
 |
| I ended up here, in an over grown field. |
