Made it out to Charmenar to see the palace, the mosque, and the Hindu temple.....palace is below
View from the roof of the palace - yes, there really are that many people on a given street here
I strolled down on of these back streets to see what was going on and I got mobbed by a swarm of people asking me for everything from money to getting a picture taken with me........crazy shit.
The local hospital just behind the open market
The buses here drive like they're competing at Le Mans or something
And I damn sure ain't getting on one of these tuk-tuks; these things are powered by lawn mower engines....sometimes I see like 15 people crowded into one of these!
Also hit up the largest mosque in India; over ten thousand people gather here for prayer on Friday afternoons
Ventured inside of the mosque - I had to take my shoes off (what a risk taker huh?)
The locals actually let me inside of the temple to take a pic (that's not me on the left though). I got blessed too, which was pretty cool. Glad I did that.
The size of this place was really impressive.
Then made it out to a Hindu temple. This place was so beautiful - made entirely out of Italian and German marble.
Unfortunately they wouldn't let any cameras or cell phones inside, so I only got a few shots from the outside. This temple was so peaceful, I could have stayed there for hours.
Shot of the temple at night.
And of course, I've been hitting up the buffets at the Marriott, the Sheraton, the Taj Krishna; this is the entrance to the Sheraton.
Nice little view of the pool while eating out on the patio.
I didn't even bother with getting the regular food - had to cut straight to the good stuff.
The calm before the storm, things are seconds away from getting serious
