Sai Prakash Hotel - Nice hotel this. The layout is a tad unusual, with the rooms in a square overlooking a large central courtyard with three shops. There’s no internet, which means no internet for the duration unless I find an internet café, and I haven’t seen one in India yet. Maybe I need to be in the backpacker, student areas, wherever they may be. My room does however have a very comfortable bed, and the quietest air-con so far.
Hyderabad is the busiest town I’ve been in, with the most traffic pollution. It is also the most westernized in that there are some fairly large stores. The hotel area seems to be the preserve of furniture stores, shoe shops and surgical appliances; further out it was all dentists. Apart from the exhaust fumes, it is pleasant to walk round. I’ve only been offered sunglasses twice, and then with no degree of persistence. Mostly you can browse unhindered, but I did fail to purchase a larger hand bag because the seller wanted me to buy a set of suitcases.
This has been quite an intense period for site visits. I have travelled miles all over the district with Murali Krishna at my side. We start around 7 am, and have returned to the hotel at times after 9 pm.
