... in Cochin. <br><br>His friend and former classmate was equally stylish and successful, with a quiet smile under a freshly shaved head. He was a Production Assitant in Mumbai working on Bollywood films. He smiled when I showed my appreciation. My late uncle was in the film business, and I know that to be a PA at his age Jarebb must be both very good and extremely lucky. <br><br>We wandered the market&#8217;s dense warren of small stalls and alleyways, butchers, spice sellers, and vendors ...

... and Valsa George. Aside from being dorm parents and having a spare room for visitors, they&#8217;d been teaching at Hebron for 22 years, and their daughter and her husband were both alumni. The Georges were dream hosts and used to guests in their pleasant little house. They pointed out everything I could possibly need or want, and wished me good night. I had an electric blanket and several thick fabric ones and went to bed with curtain calls and curriculum on my mind. <br>

... degrees was not immediately noticable as the sun still bore down strongly from the sky. We'd picked out a reasonably sounding place from the guide book, only to find out that the Hotel Lake View bore an uncanny resemblance to a derelict Pontins with not a shimmer of water in eye sight. Following the advice of our auto driver we drove to the Mount View Guest House. Our first impressions of large room, high ceiling and good location were ...

... deep valley under us. We strained our eyes to see but could only make out muddy coffee colored water in a thick green jungle-ed gorge.

We then got out our<br>binoculars and zoom cameras to see them clearly and they are a sight to see. <br><br>Such bulky creatures can be quite playful in water. After ...

... all those years ago especially when they seemed to try and produce up to eight children apiece! We enjoyed the break in Ooty and were only just ready for the suicidal descent by road where we dropped all that height in a one hour roller-coaster ride in a 1965 !!! Ambassador taxi. We chose the taxi as a far safer option than what I would judge to be an impossible local bus journey down the same route. Next stop - another attempt to spot elephants and tigers.

... of town looks like one of those ski jumps in the winter olympics. We have bought our provisions, some nut brittle, bread rolls for peanut butter sarnies and a couple of mangoes.

... official fine would have cost, and we would be able to cancel the next days tickets and get the majority of it refunded. So all was well, and it added a fun little extra to the trip for sure. Sumi even admitted she was at fault - a first in my lifetime! The excitement over, we managed to get our heads down for some sleep. The train is due to arrive in Chennai at 5:30 am, which is very annoying given most places have a 24 hour check out policy, but that is a problem for tomorrow.

... This is definitely a high point of our trip, with all these romantic and spectacular views. The Toy Train in a steam train, so we observe from up close how the coal his used to power this old and beautiful engine. Every 30 minutes the train stops to cool down or to give us the opportunity to buy some food or drinks. And it is obvious that we are slowly climbing higher and higher, because the air is getting cooler. We left with 35 ...

... I came to to this month long intensive programme and figured that at the end of I would feel strong, flexible, centered and energetic...that wasnt quite the case. But, but was definitely a learning experience in many more ways than I expected. I've been doing yoga for about 6 years on & off, but never too intensely... so I'm very much a beginner in this game...and before the course here my knowledge of yoga was purely the physical postures ...
