Our fifth day in Hampi was a travel day as we headed towards Ellora.  Travelling does not mean there are no photo opportunities! 

First, of course, was taking a photo with our driver, Afzal, another example of excellent the service and driving I have experienced in this country.

For our last night we were transferred to a ‘regular’ room because the pool cabana was pre-booked. We were happy to sleep in this cozy corner of the hotel.

As we drove to the airport, I noticed the morning sellers and farmers heading off to work or the market.  Once on the highway there were MANY fully loaded trucks on the road bearing fruits and vegetables, reminding me we are leaving a key agricultural region of India.

A sugar cane farm, processing their product in the morning light.
One of the many produce trucks on the road.

Morning fish for sale, complete with a cleaning and chopping section of her store.

Not a great photo, but this young lady enjoyed some diversion on the way to school. Her smile radiated and gave us all some positive energy as we started this travel day.

There were the requisite beautiful temples of course.

As well as beautifully sari-ed women going about their days.

Lastly, I learned Mumbai is not the only airport with stunning artwork!

At the airport we said goodbye to Bhargavi who was heading home, while Lynn and I were joining Zeeshan in Ellora.

And I end these Hampi blog posts with a few examples of the local street art.
