Udupi Udupi Udupi

When you are in the city center of Manipal you could hear the bus drivers shouting the names of different cities in a funny and unequivocal manner. One of the first places that I had the chance to visit was Udupi or how the bus drivers shout "Udupi, Udupi, Udupi!". It was my first time in a temple here in India and for sure a unforgettable experience. Here are some photos that I took that day and I wish I could have taken some more but I was told to put my camera away. Either way, I hope you like the glimpse of the city and that I can transmit to you a little bit of my first sight of India :D 

























14 hours in Moscow

A little more than three weeks ago I embarked on a new adventure which had as final destination Manipal, India. The trip from The Netherlands to this city had a few stops, which included Moscow. Having a Venezuelan passport is not the best due to all the political and migratory issues that exist, but this time it worked on my advantage because I didn't need a visa to walk around in Moscow. Since I had 14 hours before my next flight, I thought the best I could do was get out there and see the most I could in that time. It was a beautiful sunny day and the colors of the buildings in contrast with the blue skies created great shots. The only problem was that with all the rush and stress that one goes through when packing I left by mistake the memory of my camera in the checked suitcase; therefore, I had to use my phone. Of course I only had time to see the most important monuments and I took a hop-on hop-off bus to save time. The sceneries that I am portraying are the typical clichés of Moscow but I could not miss the opportunity to share them here. Hope you enjoy the colors in the photos and that you can feel the heat of that summer day in Russia :)
