Day 12

Good news. By the next day Gagan was much better, and we ventured out to have a look at the fabled capital of the Vijayanagara Empire, that ancient village that was most powerful in the 12th - 14th centuries. We took it easy, though, and paid a rickshaw driver to take us around, much to Gagan’s chagrin (he likes to save his money). It was better for the children and their flushed cheeks; even with the small amount of walking we did, we drank at least 5L of water in the hot sun.
Will update this more tomorrow -need to get to bed!!!
