The previous day I checked the bus schedule on the wall for a bus to Hospet. It said 1:00PM was the first bus, although I was hoping for a morning bus. At that time, I made it to the bus station and asked. One employee said 1:30PM (I think), so I waited, then asked someone else and he said 7:30PM. At this point, I changed my plan and took a bus to Bangaluru.
I wanted to avoid this big city again, but I didn’t have much choice. I found a $8 room and found the bus schedule which said I can leave at 9:00AM.
I bought some fried street food. Some was really oily though. I also went to a restaurant and they gave me something with corn in it. Tasted perfect as usual. Hard to stay too salty or too oily or too hot in these restaurants, maybe this is the best part about India.
