Getting around Pune

We had our guide book and map in hand with the plan to see something interesting in the city of Pune. Loaded with this information we ran into a small dilemma. First our driver didn't speak English, no problem I'll point at the map, nope, most of the taxi drivers cant read either English or a map. OK, i pointed at the picture of the fort which i could not pronounce the name. Well we did not get to where we intended but never less we were not disappointed. Only the outer walls and gateway of this compound still stand. inside there are the outlines of the foundations of the buildings that are now gone. This is right in the heart of the old city.

Out on the street we take a short walk to a beautiful Hindu temple. We enjoy walking the crowded streets, watching the locals to get some pointers on how to cross these busy streets. We browse the shops which can furnish just about anything you might need, someone will be able to help you find what you want.
