Srisailam

Had an absolutely amazing time in Srisailam, made friends, but that's exactly the kind of generic rubbish I don't want to go on about. Instead consider this -

As the conspicuous single western tourist in a village which doesn't get many tourists (excluding pilgrims), and wearing shorts and sandals, running along the road to the lake in the sun. To complete this image and the spectacle you should remember that most Indians avoid running. Arriving at the sacred lake where the Indians are doing their ceremonial bathing, I wade in and have a quick swim. While I'm used to drawing quite a lot of attention I later remember that many Indians cant swim. The temple security in their circular boats aren't too keen on me swimming in the holy water, so after a quick game of cat and mouse I eventually climb back up to be accidentally included in a dozen more photos

I suspect "English" is now qualified by "Oh those English"
