Sunset at Arambol Goa



Temple at Hampi Bazaar - Karnataka


Crossing the River Illegally since all boat crossings had been stopped on government boats in Hampi due to masses of People at the festival. We were stranded and could not cross back over to our guest house. After this our truck broke down then the rickshaw we got on tipped back onto its back wheels when going up a hill. Thats not even half of the crazy journey we had that night.


Me jumping off a rock into the reservoir up the river from Hampi. Quite a drop and I bit my lip when I hit the water which bled for a while.


Chilling at the lakeside


A Baba Who invited us into his temple for chai (Tea) While we were motoring around on our Scooty Moped in Hampi




One of the Bikes Breaks down again on the way back finally got one sorted and then me and Tamar ran out of petrol. No problems though because we just bought a litre in a plastic bottle from a small shop.
