Hampi

I'd been wanting to get to Hampi for years. And so I finally made it this year. It was nice, but I enjoyed many other cities in the first bit of this summer more. The temples in Hampi are in a very bad state, quite crumbly, which is fine. But it was disappointing. Badami, which has temples 1500 years older are in much better shape. But it was fun in Hampi. You can motorbike around the villages and it's very atmospheric.
