(Translated by Google) During our visit to the ruined city of Hampi Vijayanagara, we also had a look at these old elephant stables and temple. But before we went in we had to take pictures of an Indian family, who also visited Hampi. Unfortunately forgot to ask where they came from. The monks (who drove here with their moped) were also impressed by those tall Dutchmen. It will be fun in India ... (Original) Bij ons bezoek aan de ruïnestad Hampi Vijayanagara hoorde ook een kijkje bij deze oude Olifantenstallen én tempel. Maar voordat we naar binnen gingen moesten we natuurlijk even foto's maken van een Indiase familie, die eveneens Hampi bezocht. Helaas vergeten te vragen waar ze vandaan kwamen. Ook de monniken (met de bromfiets hier naartoe gereden), waren onder de indruk van die lange Nederlanders. Het blijft leuk in India...
