Tourtag 5 Unterwegs..
15th Feb

We are experiencing internet problems - sorry for no updates. We will upload translations and pictures as soon as possible.

6 o'clock, we're still traveling. We're on the road from 8:30 this morning. The broken streets are nothing special, I am tortured by hunger, which is nothing compared to huge holes in the road like after a war or something. Our fellow-travelers decided to have some kind of snack from time to time on the side of the road, but I don't trust the street sellers, so I decide not to eat anything until we arrive to the hotel.

Small trucks full of scholars are crossing our way (they are called TukTuk's) in small and very poor villages, which remind me of the movie "District 9". Every third hut is painted in a very bright color with a white Vodafone logo in the middle. It looks like Vodafone donated some paint color.

We're also driving through an area with ironstone, which reminds me of early pictures of "Ruhrhebiet" - only with palms ..

After more than 10 hour drive with approximate speed of 42km/h we finally reach our destination - Hampi. And now finally something to eat.
