happyfish > Golkonda Fort, Hyderabad.  The 360 degree views from around the fort are spectacular and worth checking out.  But this boy was more fascinated by an strangely dressed 'videshi' (foreigner) with a camera. Once again, we almost became the prime tourist attraction. And no, I don't personally know Shane Warne.
happyfish > Golkonda Fort, Hyderabad.  An amazing fort in it's time.  With ingenious defense mechanisms to warn of or keep away invading armies.
happyfish > Golkonda Fort, Hyderabad.  It only takes a short while to hike up to the top of the fort and see a spectacular view of Hyderabad. A lot of local tourists flock to this fort and at times I think WE almost became the tourist attractions, being westerners. Quite a  few celebrity style group photos, handshakes and comparisons to Australian Cricket team players and we quietly escaped the crowds sneaking back down through the maze of stairs, tombs and passages. I never really thought I resembled Adam Gilchrist, let alone Ricky Ponting.
