I often feel I take the hardest route on purpose, for challenge, for the greater experience and just because I can. So with my morning free, I took the government bus into Hampi. Almost always I’m the only white foreigner on the bus, or for that matter wherever I am as I do, as I love to head to places a little off the tourist trail. But I do love the social side of transport, invariably someone plucks up the courage to chat, bemused as to why I’m on the bus and not hiring an auto rickshaw or taxi. This kind of chatter never happened in my 25 years of commuting on the jubilee line - there was no chatter at all, especially once everyone had a mobile phone glued to their gaze!
