Hampi is still the best

Hanging out in Hampi is an unfair amount of fun. i'm having so much fun, i figure that i must be cheating the system somehow. Roarke and i have been able to find i rhythm of life here that is perfect. the last week or so have been great. we have explored all of the temples imagineable, climbed a bunch of rocks, and hung out with a lot of cool people. the last week has been almost entirely climbing and hiking around the huge granite boulders, rice fields, palm trees, and dirt roads. we were able to rent a crash pad from a local guy, allowing us to get a little more aggressive with our climbing. its been really fun, i have definately improved my climbing skills in the last week. in retrospect, it seems like we havent done that much. but, we are having too much fun here to think about stopping. but, i can feel that the time is coming to get back on the road to travel.

currently we are looking for trains to get north. eventually, we would like to end up trekking in nepal by october. but that is too far in advance for us to plan, so we are looking at 40 hour train rides to new delhi. after that loongggggggg ride we would hope to head to the town of rishikesh. we have heard great things from fellow travellers and the source of the ganges river has to be cool.

as our fantastic extended stay in hampi is comming to an end i am excited about all the adventures i have ahead of me. north india and nepal sound awesome and travelling is always a good experience. im always trying to keep in mind how lucky i am to be having fun, staying safe, and staying healthy.
