Vizag trip---Araku valley

On our way to the valley, we stopped by a small open air restaurant for breakfast and relished the south Indian special breakfast--aka Idli, Dosa, upma, sambhar and coconut chutney. Just outside the restaurant, we also spotted a swing tied to a big tree... we obviously swung like lil children... after all, it's was our vacation and we could do everything we wanted to.

Though it was technically a valley that we went to, there wasn't much valley to see around, we were disappointed especially Sweets who prefers hills and mountains than beaches.
But we did find a group of people, the residents of Araku valley--in full fiesta out for their daily bazaar. Most women were seen sporting the triple nose rings--look closely and you'll see what I mean.
