... inside out. <br> Hollowed out. Will it be better that I stop thinking about beautiful people around me? Will it be better that I assume the camouflage of a cold-hearted cynical person that plays around with humor and defense rather than reveal my fragile heart to this unpredictable world which is full of vile and betrayals? Should I disarm my cynical façade and load off the anger, the ...

... of the book &#8216;Holy Cow&#8216;, and as Dan had kindly let him lie in his parasol shade before I arrived I reluctantly let my astrology fortune be told by the filthy local beach fortune pedlar. We must have been feeling gregarious because when he asked us for custom yesterday the response was rather different, due to him casually sticking his huge and dirty thumb right up his equally dirty nostril mid-pitch. (we just started giggling ...

... the drivers in India use their horns continually when doing anything at all, it's mayhem!). As the roads narrowed and the sun retreated beyond the stunning scenery, we endured one of the most terrifying journey's either of us have ever had. The bus was being thrown round the sharp mountain road blind corners at stupid speeds, the amount of near misses from head on collisions was well into double figures during the ascent to 1650m above sea level. We made it ...

... eyes. They were the lovely ones. Didn't spend much time here because we didn't really need to so went back to the ship about 1pm and guess where to. The Oasis bar of course. Watched the said out from Cochin and it was very pretty at night time. Indians on the wharf waving to us. The tourist season has just started there and we were the first ship of the season.<br>Thats it for now. You can send emails any time you like.<br>Love from Stephanie and Graeme.

... people travel a lot as they are everywhere! All the tourists would go and lay themselves on the beach during the day, wearing not a lot, which is normal to us on a beach, but a bit strange in india when everyone is normally so conservatively dressed. Even the woman selling pineapple on the beach was completely covered in her Indian clothes. We stayed under the umberella as I was in recovery ...

... addict who escaped from Pentridge Prison and fled to India where he lived for 10 years. We bought Sandra a couple of gifts for her birthday (bracelet, garlic cloves, crystal) then met up with some of the crew from the Vipassana meditation for a dinner at The Hungry Eye. Our bodies were all fairly wrecked from the gruelling meditation sessions. Sandra's birthday had fallen on one of the silence days so we could only mouth a happy Birthday to her, Mono Loco left a ...

... in a small village, I'm ready to go. These sandals give me a good ice breaker with the locals, who look down, surprised, and say: "Oh, Indian Sandals!" The traction of the Papilon sandals, I find, is as good as Vibram, though they don't last as long. Perhaps they're cheap, perhaps they're low tech, but they work.
