Incredible India

20.10.2012

Swetha and Nymisha guide us around in Hyderabad today. We visit the Golconda Fort and in the evening we take our time for intensive shopping. Finally we are going partying all together!
This morning at 11:00 a.m. the Germans meet Swetha, Nymisha, Melina and Meghan at the train station Hi-Tech City. Then we are waiting for our train.

Ultimately at 13:30 p.m. our train arrives. We are so surprise and just jump in the train, that we almost lost the boys. But we all handled to squeeze in the train.

Finally we arrive at the final stop Jamai Osmania. There we are looking for a riksha that brings us to the Golconda Fort, which is still 15 km to go.

Christoph and Nymisha wanted to find a shortcut, but the security sent them back down. So we have to walk the propper way.

After all this climbing and those fantastic impressions we are really hungry. So we set off to the City Center Mall for supper and shopping. On our way to the city center we get caught in heavy rain and in a riksha you can't protect yourself from getting wet. But in the mall we find enough cloth to change (:

mall

We made it to the mall. As the restaurants are only opening in an hour, we take the time for checking out the shops. We get lots of sarees, salwar kameez, scarfs and jewellery.

food
Delicious Indian supper.

We are strengthened for the final shopping and dancing in one of the clubs in the mall. We savour our last party together until the club closes.

Somebody already looks tired.

Our last night together is over. We go back to our hotels and dream of this lovely day in incredible India. Tomorrow we will meet Melina, Meghan and Swetha again for brunch before we have to say Goodbye for a longer time.
