Hyderabad, India – by Maya

7th July 2016

I’m in Hyderabad. When we first got here it was midnight so we had to go to sleep. The next day we went across the lake to the Buddha. It was huge, 18m high and had very fine carving.

On the day that we were leaving Hyderabad we went to Golconda fort. It is the second biggest in India. We walked right around it. It had amazing views of the city and there were little squirrels running around.
