Hi all. Leaving for Goa this afternoon, but wanted to catch up on Hyderabad. It's sooo hot at the moment, so I'm using it as a good excuse to taste the local beer!! There are some great bars and restaurants in the new town. Banjara Hills is the place to go. It has a really chilled out atmosphere.
Been doing a bit of sight seeing. Went to the Qutb Shahi tombs which has some fantastic views of the old city. Then had a bit of a whirlwind trip round Golconda fort and on to the old city itself. This is the old Muslim area and has some seriously old buildings. The Charminar is over 500 years old. The bazaars near the chaminar are huge fun, as it is really crowded, as a space limited back-packer it's a real challenge to go through without buying something! Oh, and the Nayab Hotel in the old town does the best Biryani.
Sorry this is brief, but I've got to leg it to Goa now.
