We went with Chrstiane and Helmut to Hampi. What a place!!!
The reminiscence of a great kingdom which richness is still visible although….mostly
in ruins… Temples,
temples and more temples. Big and small, simple and beautifully decorated. And
all that spread on quite a distance. Add to it gorgeous scenery of enormous
boulders and little river (irrigation channel actually) and charming village
that literally touches the historical bazaar and temple.
Yes, the whole site is Unesco World Heritage… which means
that is to be protected…also from the people who live there. The government works
now on relocating entire villages. Of course, they resist ‘cause they live on
the tourism...
Hampi is a very meditative place. It really inspires peace
and reflection. The ruins are working on my imagination – how people used to
live, worship, carry on with their daily life…
The girls arrived and we spend a lovely day together on the
bikes.
