So, day six and have not stopped for breath (poss coz of gross car fumes eugh!). It's been templetastic and manic!!! Seen temples at Chidambaram awopbamboom!, Thanjavor, Mamallapuram, Tiruchirappalli...oh my word! Palaces, Rock forts, the senses cannot rest!! Stayed in the most dingy place ever which is saying something. The towns were generally pretty grim but so hexciting.
Was bound for Madurai for more city craziness but as the train wasn't due for another 4 hours, decided to head to the hills like all the Raj brits did. So, 5 hour bus journey to Kodaicanal which is up up up windy roads, and near the border with Kerala - next stop maybe.
Stunning rolling hills with mist and rainforest walks ahhh!! I can relax, do my nails, write postcards, read my book, breathe clean air, drink tea - which OMG is the most delicious thing! Just like mamgu makes it.
Anyway, just gonna enjoy a total zone out till the next city. It is cold and lush and I may spend the next three weeks here. Blog may get boring tho.
Toodles xxc
