Guest Stories: Hiking Trails Around Savista: Art Work by a Young Cartographer

Eleven year old Francesca’s contribution to the Savista blog takes the form
of a map of one of the hiking trails around Savista.

The big day of the England-India cricket match (described by Francesca’s brother
Cameron in the previous post) began for the two cricket captains and their
parents with a cross country walk in the environs of Savista.

They walked through green fields of young wheat, garden peas and mustard. As they wandered through the countryside in the bright winter sunshine, they also got to see buffaloes, goats and haystacks, and had the chance to exchange greetings with passing
villagers.

Francesca drew a map of the hiking trail that they followed. The young
cartographer chose to embellish it with illustrations and commentary.
Future guests at Savista would no doubt enjoy planning their hikes with the
help of her sketch.
