I have mixed feeling about travelling by car in India. On one hand I am really glad we did because we were able to see so much more of the real India. On the other hand, it can be a truly terrifying experience. We were able to see that there are vast areas in India that are empty except for maybe a few farmers and cows cultivating their land and then you happen upon a village or town and are faced with extreme population explosion. It is unbelievable that that many people can live in such close quarters.

Badami
I had no idea how large this town was until we made our was up to this lookout point. I am not quite sure what all these people do to survive especially during monsoon season.

The area surrounding the town of Badami:
As you can see, there are large areas of undeveloped land even within as little as a kilometre outside of the town.

Typical Indian Town
I took this picture out of a restaurant that we stopped in on our way back to Goa from Hampi. I found the sign on the right side of the picture to be quite funny. It was hard to believe that there would be a luxury resort anywhere close to this setting.

Open spaces
This could be a view in northern Canada except for the type of trees and the fact that there could be a crocodile in the water or a tiger stalking their prey.
