Beauty and the BeastBeauty and the BeastBeauty and the Beast

Elephants are BIGGG animals, did you know ? It's always a good idea to carry some bananas while travelling.
Yeah Girls & Boys, Ladies & Gents ... Time is running out, still some days to burn in India before heading Nepal. Now, sh... looots of things happened during the last days, time for an update. We heard the weather in Germany is pretty bad, don't be sad, even if the grass seems to be greener on our side, the moscitos do like India veeeery much too. Dunno if there're more moscitos or indians .. Nevermind, we're currently staying in Hampi, a very ancient temple area, eveything lookes pretty ruined. It's hard to find word to describe the beauty of that piece of land, try to catch it from the pix.
Before we landed here, we had the chance to join a traditional temple festival in a small village nearby Palakkad. Main attractions were elefants and Irina, both nicely decorated as u can see. Before that we were fighting with deers, cobras and monkeys in a wildlife sanctuary .. but as u can see and read, we survived everything (do you think we are exaggerating ... ?).
Curious about the meaning of Masala Dosa ? Ok, this is a very delicious south-indian meal. perfect for breakfast ... Tony is already addicted
Pls don't laugh ...Pls don't laugh ...Pls don't laugh ...

Irina had a hard time to get the driver license for the Rikscha. In the meantime I found out that you don't need one, just another rip-off :)
... Irina might open a little indian Restaurant in Koeln-Suelz after we returned back. Sooo, looots of hugs & kisses for you guys ... Love, Iri n Tony.

I discovered some new odd scales, which I try to bring to perfection. Irina and all the other animals already ran away ...

Two things to keep in mind ... It's a 15m cliff AND there are crocodiles in the lake. Her nickname in Hampi is Lara Croft.
