With a Plan we don’t have (Hampi – Part 1 )

After a usual day at work, the five of us started from Bangalore around 7:00 PM. The city traffic was torturous, but things got better once we reached the highways.

We stopped for dinner somewhere near Tumkur, where as usual, I ordered more than what was required and ended up wasting a lot of food. As we went through our meals we also started searching for rooms for the night. We had to chose between taking hotel rooms in Hospet (the nearest town to Hampi) or some cottage in Hippie Island. With most places already sold out for the weekend, we settled for a hotel in Hopset. Our onward journey post dinner was quite peaceful. The traffic had considerably eased up and the roads were good. Nandu and Pro took turns driving while Punya was in charge of the stereo. I was in charge of navigation while Nandakrishnan was searching for hotels.

We reached our hotel in Hospet around 2:30 in the morning. We sat and talked for a while but crashed on our beds soon after.
