Busy Hyderabad

Busy, busy Hyderabad! So many auto rickshaws to catch, so little time.We've visited the Qutab Shahi tombs and had a quick look at the fort near it from the outside... both were amazing to see. We found a particularly madhat gentleman called Raoul who was our auto rickshaw driver to the tombs - he insisted that Jo and I would definitely get married to each other next year, and that we would party like it's 1989 in his house, eating tandoori chicken and roti. We couldn't convince him otherwise, he said it's certain. Due to his English skills we weren't able to convince him that we were in fact not dating and that I had a girlfriend who was not the girl next to me in the auto rickshaw, but he was great fun so we didn't mind! Check the photos above for a closer look at the tombs and my amazing airport hoboing in KL! Next we'll be off to Hampi to see the ruins, we've booked a bus for tonight. I'm super excited about the ruins! The biggest problem I've experienced in Hyderabad is that I can't find any curry to eat, and haven't seen a single Tandoori oven! I hope this will be remedied in the next cities like Goa and Mumbai!!
