Hampi Day 2
We got up at 5.30am today to watch the sunrise. We climbed up Mathanga Hill, and I was huffing and puffing by the time we reached the top. Unfortunately it was too cloudy to catch the sunrise, but the panaromic view was spectacular.

The monkey and me at the top of Mathanga Hill.
In the late morning till afternoon, it was a tour of other temples in an autorickshaw.
A stone chariot.
Carving of a Chinese. This shows that there were traders way back when this monument was built.
This one is of a Mongolian.
In front of a gigantic statue of Ganesha. About 2.7m tall.
On top of the steps at a ruin.
A huge statue of Hanuman.
At the Mango Tree restaurant. It is so out of the way from Hampi Bazaar that if it wasn’t recommended in the Lonely Planet, there probably wouldn’t be many people there. As it is, though, there were lots of tourists there today.
