Hyderabad; The Beginning | India 2012

We are safe and sound. Our 14 hour plane ride from Chicago to Abu Dhabi wasn't as painful as we had thought. With our own little screens and a wide selection of movies. I picked Footloose (2011) & Puss In Boots! I fully enjoyed both and followed it with a nice long nap. We got to sit in the Abu Dhabi airport for several hours, and then hopped on our 3 1/2 hour flight to Hyderabad. Arriving in Hyderabad, off to a little guest house (pictures below). Recovering from a bit of jet lag has been a bit difficult. But slowly but surely we are adjusting. It is so wonderful to fly into Hyderabad before going to Guntur because we have a little down time. We got in at 4:00 am India time, which is around 3:30 pm MN time and tried to sleep as late as we could.

We got to enjoy a little restaurant breakfast (below), chutney, puri, & coffee for $3 each. And have had a little time to adjust to the time zones and plan our month ahead. We did a little shopping and exploring as seen with all the images below and then had a little coffee and a sandwich! Now we are relaxing a bit more and are off to Guntur in the morning, a six hour drive.

All the pictures are just from my phone, hipstamtic. Once we are in Guntur the big camera's will be taken out!
