The View from the Top


GeoTagged, [N10.40100, E75.50952]

This photo was taken from the top of the Fort. Did I mention that Francis Drake was villified for sacking the city 3 times? There were tunnels throughout the fort with hidden alcoves. In the alcoves were sentries. They waited till you were past them and asked for the password. If the first word you said was not the password they shot you from their dark recess. There was a man who was dressed as a soldier on top of the Fort. He was playing a trumpet. It happened to be a Vienese Waltz. I asked Carrie to dance and low and behold she agreed. We waltzed round and round the parapets, sweating like pigs in the 100 degree heat, to the delight of the crowd! Who'd have ever thought?
