After waking the hotel man (at 7am) we jumped back on NH7 and scooted south towards Hyderabad. After a quick hour the road became nice! Smooth dual lane dual carriage way... and then we got to Hyderabad just as a nice flash flood storm blew in!

Rain! Rain! Rain!

And then it happened! We found a McDonalds: the verdict was generally poor; but a few people had to get their McMaharaja Mac and so it was done.

Hyderabad to Kurnool saw more rain, lot's of highway construction diversions, and one of the weirdest one hotel towns (which had more than one hotel) so far. But we made it: a massive 400ish kilometers in one day!
