last day in hampi...

zoe walked eijla to breakfast.

then it was all kinds of cuteness from her before we took the night bus to bangalore, which by the was much more comfortable than our last night bus.

zoe learned to draw stars today,  she became an expert at it in five minutes flat!

 

today we rented bike and rode out to the "waterfall", though, i think we might have missed the "waterfall", as it was more a part of the river that had a bit of rapids and a swimmig area. 

thomas finally became enlightened and learned to float on water.

zoe rode the bike the last little bit into hampi.

exploring hampi...

yesterday we took the boat across the river and did a bit of exploring.  we found a little school where the girls played on the playground with all the school kids. 

thomas and the girls even went swimming in the river. 

 then today we did the big tour of the hampi temples.  started off with ganesh...

 then headed onto the others...

two little monkeys hanging out..

and of course the famous stone chariot.

good bye beach, hello hampi

we crammed ourselves in the little sleeper bunk and headed out for hampi.  eijla managed to sleep all night long, while the rest of us did our best.  but were pretty tired when they dropped us off at 0530!

 it is amazing how much you can get done when you start your day at 0600!  we got to meet laksmi, the temple elephant,

we had some neighbors come over and introduce themselves.

we went to local temple where we met even more new friends.

 

then we went for a little hike to some old temple ruins.  the girls had a blast running around and climbing on everything.  

 

zoe had to take a break on the hike back to hampi.

 

nice views...

and zoe got a little bit of goat snuggles as we headed back to town for dinner.
