This Saturday I slowly awakened in a very hot apartment. Put the AC on and had some breakfast at 11. Around 14.00 I drove off with Santosh (my personal chauffeur) to see a temple in the rural area of Pune. This temple was mentioned on Wiki so I wanted to visit it. In the morning (when I was still in bed) it was very crowded. Many people in Pune visit the temple that is made for the god that protects the city. I believe it is called Kasba Peth. It is one of the oldest temples of Pune. It is a very serine place with a big garden surrounding it.

After this we visited the Energy park, that was founded to show the India government and people the importance of reusable energy sources, instead of coal, gas and oil. It was quite interesting and cleared the way for the build of the large hydroponic dam that powers most of Pune. I also found a reference to the Windmill and of course the Netherlands were mentioned.

After this Santosh drove me to some of the prides of Pune – the colleges. I went to the Pune University that has been in existents since the time of the British. It was a impressive sight. Mainly because you see the traffic a vew hundred meters away, but it is totally quit at the main building. There were not many classes on Saturday.

After this Santosh drove me to the Agricultural University. This was a very impressive university. It situated on a very big piece of land in the edge of the centre of Pune. When entering the estate you have to drive for a few minutes to get to the main building, located at the centre.

When the main building is passed we could see a long pasture of grain stretching very far. All around it you see the city buildings. I also found a stable with a Bull that had impressively large horns. After making this picture Santosh drove me home.
