Baths in the river.

Hampi, 12-12-1994. To avoid the laddle-style shower in my "hotel" I take baths in the river during my long walks around Hampi. The whole area is set in a magnificent landscape and with the ruins behind me I take off all my clothes but my underpants and bathe in the murky water, feeling more relaxed as ever despite a period of intence and persistent bad luck. There are many sadhus living in and around the ruins always willing to share a chilam with you. With their orange robes and long rasta beards they fit in nicely with the magic of the landscape.
