Photos, at last...

A rather typical photo from Mysore's Devaraja's market. These colourful cones are everywhere...

First time in my life I saw an elephant from such a close distance, so didn't miss the chance to take a photo, even though some guy made me feel like throwing my camera at his head, beating the poor animal all the time with a big stick (which I would love to put deep somewhere in his body, but... anyhow...).

Gosh... This is the first time I see my photos in large scale, and I have to admit that most of them are too poor... This one for example... This is the most famous temple in Chennai, the details on the pyramid-like "dome" are incredible, but sadly you can see nothing here, I know... Hm... I should take up photo lessons once I'm back home...

Marina Beach, Chennai, the lady offered me some fish and made me understand that if I didn't like it I wouldn't pay for it, but shoot me, no matter how much I enjoy tasting local... specialties, this kind of fish is something I couldn't put in my mouth. Of course, the locals laughed at/with me...

For less than half a euro this guy gave me 15-20 big bananas(!). I had no idea how many I would get with so few money, so I was... pleasantly surprised seeing him fill a big bag...

One of the maaaaaany cows I have seen in Mysore (mainly). Sad thing, most of them are skinny and you can count the bones on their bodies...

Just a monkey, one of the monkeys sitting around, eating, practically at the very centre of Mysore.

The Marina Beach, at Chennai, another picture that doesn't really does justice to the place, mea culpa.

I'm having a hard time getting a grip of how the pictures are to be sorted, so I'm clarifying that the palace with the reddish domes is Maharaja's Palace in Mysore.

The big white building with the four minarets is Charminar, one of the main reasons why I included Hyderabad in my itinerary. The photo doesn't do it justice, trust me, it is much more impressive and imposing... face to face.

OOOKKK, have never tried before uploading pictures while on the road, so let's see how this works...

First photo, my under one euro yummy south Indian thali, the one I had a couple of hours ago here, at Mysore. To be honest I had no idea how to eat it, the first time I tried it, so I just... spied around, and saw how the locals did it... Piece of cake. Messy, given that you use your fingers, but piece of cake...
