Will makes a sacred friend in happy Hampi

One week in and we already feel like we've been here a month.  India just as we remembered only this time it's strangely easier.  Mumbai was much better than we expected. Compared to Delhi or Calcutta, it really is the modern Indian city.  A place where the past and present colide in colourful chaos that only exists in India.

Three days ago we came to "happy Hampi" as it is known.  Incredible temples from the 15th Century.  Mind blowing stuff but funny how after three days you can walk past a temple without gasping anymore.  We have had a great time here.  Tomorrow to Goa for some beach action and chilling out.  One last sunset to watch here whilst being accosted by small boys to buy post cards or frangipani flowers just fallen from the tree 50 yards away!

Have just finished reading a book called "This Book Will Change Your Life" The book didn't but India definitely does.

Glad to hear it's all going well! Looking out the window here at Leighton Gardens I can hardly imagine a more different place to be in the world!
No news from us yet but I've marked this page as a favourite so I'm sure I'll be checking back in.

Sound fab guys. I hope you have stuck to your challenge and gotten some Lindy Hopping in. Went to the 100 club last night and now suffering from stiff legs, lots of fun though. Missing you at class.
