hampi adventures

me hanging around on the vineyards of one of the tatelan argricultural dams at hampi, you can see the panorama of the whole ruins at the top of the hill gardens
the elephants stable at hampi and yes a fellow local indian traveller took the picture for me , if not i would have self camed myself ;)
this is rama , the 6th reincanation of vishnu, this structure was immaculately restored and bare in mind that hindus do not worship to damaged statues as these were destroyed by the muhul invaders who tried to burn it but failed.
a fellow traveller(wife and husband) whose son is actually working in singapore and they treated me like their son

hampi is a facinating place with a wide area of ancient temples beautifully thought out and carved. the masterpiece is the temple of music which is aesthetically built to harmonise music that is being play to pitch perfect results.

    Hi Jeremy,

    Good to see your pictures in Hampi. The two mid
    pixs remind me of my own visit there - in the scorching April heat. People change (in looks or character/aspirations) but monuments remain unchanged over the years!. Hi, did you go and see the stone chariot ? - the one that I refused to pay US$10 just to take a photo. I learnt from a street-wise British gal and climbed onto a slope and got to see the chariot for free - albeit from a distance.

    Lost any more weight ? Amazing to see you being able to fit into my OUC Sweater. Looks great on you !

    Cheers, U. L. Tiang

    thankd everyone , actually now the indian gov has converted all payments to rs and i paid rs250 around sing 8 dollars to enter into the elephant stables , chariot temple and all other attractions. but i expect the most expensive to be at the taj mahal which i think will be around us 7 to 10 bucks. must be the over crowding lol.

    yup that ouc sweater was great to wear but abit heavy but sure great to wear.

    uncle ah yet , yup suntanned and orh lu lu like me now. kena sun attack from all the travelling lol.

    nice to hear from you guys

    keep writing !!! :)
