At long last a day off! A fantastic day of sightseeing was arranged for us by the Hyderabad chapter, who couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. We set off at 9am for a visit to Film City.
The film industry is huge in India and they are suitably proud of the number and quality of Bollywood films they produce each year. Film City was truly amazing and consisted of a variety of film sets that we used in various movie productions. These film sets ranged from the bizarre to the beautiful, the surreal to the authentic and our guide was very proud to tell us that nothing was real and everything was made of plaster of Paris. Time for another group photo outside an artificial hospital, before yet another wonderful Indian curry buffet lunch.
After lunch it was time for some more cultural input, after the frivolity of the morning. We visited Muslim tombs and a wonderful fort where, as the sunset, we watched a light show which illuminated the fort whilst we listened to the history of the Mogul empire. Wearily we arrived back at our hotel for dinner before turning in for the night.
