We woke up the next morning preparing ourselves ready for a big day. We had breakfast at a local restaurant, where Danny advised me to have Puri (a blown-up popadom), which came with a potato curry, surprisingly!! We headed up towards the muslim part of Hyderabad, where we went to see the Charminar and Mecca Masjid. As we were parking up, we were approached by an Indian midget and because I was sat at the front, I was the one who had to deal with it but as I opened the window, Danny shouted “Indian Midget” and I had turn away in laughter, tut tut! Once we got inside the mosque, we sat down for a short while waiting for the others. Krishna got a cup of tea from a young boy, who had to leave his education because he had no money. The boy had a cup of tea with him and they had quite a long conversation, which resulted in the boy taking a shine to him and not asking for any money but Krishna being Krishna, gave him more than enough and the boy’s smile when receiving that money was priceless and that was my first touching moment of the trip.
I was in time to read zuhr namaaz (afternoon prayer) but this meant that I had to wash and this was a mission in itself. I wasn’t flexible enough to get down to wash in this fountain (of bird poo) outside the mosque, So Danny thinking it was funny, started videoing me. Once I prayed, someone showed us around the Mecca Mosque and showed us the reason why the mosque was called ‘Mecca Masjid’. was because it was completed by a small stone from Mecca. We headed straight to the zoo and this is when we saw 22 people crawl out of a 5-seater car. The zoo was huge and surprisingly saw loads of different animals. After this, we treated the boys (Naresh, Krishna, and Venu) to some pizza, where me and Danny made sure we got our moneys worth. Krishna drove on the way home and was overtaken on the left by another driver, this pissed him off and he was determined to gain the lead position over this wanker. The stunts he pulled off were terrifying, Danny slept most of the way through the chase, but woke up just in time to see us avoid a road island by just a few inches. Quite the near death experience. We finished the day by having a quick V.I.P photoshoot at his uncles house and purchasing our coach tickets to our next destination….Goa. Although, we had one more day remaining with the Hyderabad boys, I could sense that there would be whiskey involved on their behalf.
