Picture HERE!

So I just woke up, its very sunny and nice, and I just had the best masala chai in my life…so I though it could be a good time to write a little…

We have been in Hampi for about a week. What can I say, this place is beautiful. It used to be the capital of the  Vijayanagara Empire.  So the village is surrounded by ruins and temple. The atmosphere is very relax and peacefull.

Most people seems to stay here only for 2-3 days,  rush out everything, then leave…We decided to stay for about 10days,  to get a good grip on the place, and it was a very good idea! We are starting to know some locals, and this is great.

We didnt do much for the first few days, just hanging around in the village, trying the different restaurants. Also, we did catch a pretty bad cold (wtf). So we just chilled around until we got better.

Then we went temple hunting, walking aroound for hours findind weird temples and places, thats once, were part of a living society….I really wish I could go back in time, and see how it was back then, im sure it was amazing. The temples are massive, very detailed, and very well done, they must have spent so much time on these things…its crazy.  The temples are separated in 2 part, the Sacred center, and the Royal center. The sacred center, is mostly religious temples, filled with gods and nice sculptures. The royal center is where royalty used to live and prosper. The architecture is a little bit different,and they have things like baths, stables(for elephants), pyramid for rituals/festivals..etc. You can check the pictures, it will give you a good idea of what im saying.

The weather is great also, always sunny and hot, not as humid as I was expecting it to be, its awesome…

Anyways, we are staying for another couple days, then we will try to get to Goa…for some beaches and party..and most importantly: BEERS!!! (hampi is a very religious town, alchool is banned, I would pay a lot for a cold beer right now)

Will keep you updated ;)
