7:45am departure from Hampi for the 7 hr drive back. Stopped outside Kurtool to visit Bhaskar's parents house. Photos were taken. Then off to pick up wife, son and a sack of rice. Hair raising near collision with truck - bravo Bhaskar.
Back at Sree and Anitha's by 3:30pm.
Big delicious dinner and soon off to the airport and into the hands of Singapore Airlines. Could be worse.

India day 16
Good nights sleep. Checked out of Corp housing.
Another fabulous breakfast at Sree and Anithas. White wheat cereal paste - delicious. Along with shredded wheat/rice (special for Devali).
Bhaskar and very you wife and very young son arrive.
We finally get rolling at 9:05am. Fabulous highway - two lane each way with median. The occasional truck on the wrong side of the median but nothing too scary - as far as Gooty but first we drop wife and son at Kurnool. At Gooty we head west on another national highway but this one is nothing like the first one.
Can Bhuskar read? Not well sign posted but even I could follow the way. Bhuskar very cautious and would get a verbal check at every intersection.
7 hours and we pulled into the hotel - just kind of appeared. Very poorly signed.
Basic accommodation but satisfactory. Dinner, not so much.
Decided to not visit sights this evening as it would 400Rps for an hour. Instead we negotiate for an all day guide tomorrow. Very confusing. Unethical guide competition. Who cares.
