Hampi was a late addition to the trip after being recommended by Ravi and Nandita. It was a bit daunting to let go of their hands and face the big, bold India all on our lonesome… especially being greeted by ten people as we got off our “sleeper” bus all wanting us to stay at their guesthouses!! The sight were amazing- old ruins from the 13th century when it was a Hindu capital. The ruins were everywhere… we asked which way to walk and the answer was any direction! The backdrop is these huge boulders that looked as if someone has stacked them precariously on one another… like a giant jenga game. We witnessed a devastating motorcycle crash on our local bus on the way to Hampi when we were the first on the scene. The 2 year old daughter had died and the father was in a critical condition as was the young son. The mother was in shock and it was difficult to stand back and observe their different ways of managing injuries.
