Qutb Shahi Tombs and NTR Gardens

I checked out these tombs. Of course, I didn't hire one of the "tourist policemen" to take me around, so I don't exactly know the details of the place, but the main tomb looked pretty nice. I forgot my camera, so I can't share any pictures of the place. I love how the guides call themselves police. Is it because they are protecting and serving the tourists, or just because they are all dressed up in their nicest clothes to come out and try to tell me a sentence or so that I can read on the sign right next to the tombs.

Anyway, one interesting thing was that I must have been a celebraty because about 10 different Indian peeps came up to me while I was walking around to shake my hand. One guy followed me around a bit until the monsoon rain drove him away because he didn't have an umbrella and couldn't fit under mine. I finally realize that the monsoons are good for something.

NTR Gardens was kind of neat. It is a pretty well kept park with rides, a water slide, a fountain and a bonsai tree garden. I took the little train that they had around the park so that I could be a spectacle for all the Indians around the park.
