... rental companies in coimbatore and found very good reviews about them too. So we decided to email them on the mail id provided in their website and got a response pronto. They were reasonable and sounded very professional so we decided to hire the minivan from them and they suggested that we be put up in the jenny club and do a local sightseeing trip for a day. Jenny club again was such revelation. It is one of the best clubs that i have ...

... intent, but nobody seemed to know what to do, and we just had to wait for him to move off the line in his own good time. This took about 40 minutes, during which time the elephant presented his face, then his backside, then his side, and finally his face again to our view, and most of the people had got out of the train for a better look, only to be chased back on by those in authority, who seemed more likely to ...

... Safari durch die naheliegenden Kaffee- Plantagen gemacht. Die Fahrt fuehrte mich in erste Gebiete von Tee- Plantagen und in ein Gebirge ueber einen Pass von 2300m ueber Meer. Wunderschoene Fahrt und Langschaft. Nacht in Pollachi. XXXXX The sight of the Maharaja's Palace and other work was a 3-day-stay in Mysore woth. The Palace was just too beautiful to take pictures inside (vorbidden). The city and its other ...

... India with their three kids). We eventually disperse and George and I have supper on the outside veranda tonight. We opt for the white wine (much better than the red) and have yet another fabulous meal on our island, albeit much spicier than the one the night before. We watch the stars for a while and then off to bed. I wake up early Sunday morning and go outside to take some pictures of the mist rising from the water amongst the drinking bison. (Spectacular!) and hop on to the 7:30 am ...

... literally is a "mine is bigger than yours" situation and neither side wants to give up Kashmir. Currently, India has control of it. India is also largely unhappy with Pakistan because they say terrorists have come to India and blown things up, causing trouble in northern India for the locals. While I don't think they support George Bush, it's pretty clear they don't support Pakistan either. Back to the journey: our first destination was Mysore Palace. Holy mother of ...

... of arranged marriages : click here Afterwards we went back to Vishnu's place and he found us accommodation in Ooty (our next destination). Vishnu works in logistics (textile, Coimbatore is the textile capital and often called 'The Manchester of India) but lately he wants to broaden his horizon by importing champagne and European wines. We even got a taste of some Indian wine made from Strawberries which a friend of his makes in the hills around Coonoor.

... but we met the three Israeli girls from Cochin (who went to the backwaters with us) and they invited us to join a tourist bus that takes the Top Point course. 14/02/05 2nd Day - Top Point and Back Again We didn't wake up in time for the bus, but neither did the girls. We decided it's better to rent a Jeep with a driver and make the course in our own pace. Itay found yesterday a nice shopkeeper with a good knowledge of the ...

Hi everyone-- So after dealing with some culture shock last week (I really shouldn't have laughed at the professors while they were telling us about the highs and lows ... bad karma I guess, to be very Indian about the whole thing). Anyway, these last few days have been crazy busy as usual, though since I'm getting far more used to things I probably won't have as much to write about (and please excuse any repetitions from my last entry as I'm not quite sure how much detail I went into). To ...

... out to us before heading back fairly early, since we were to be up very sharp the next day for the long drive to Madurai in the south. We woke up at 7am, which in my opinion should still be considered the middle of the night. Suchee's mum and sister-in-law, Eswari, served us the now staple breakfast of some dosa (south Indian pancakes), some Sambar (think lentil soup) and korma (and yes, korma is spicy!).
