There was a long row of coracle waiting for tourists. coracle is a circular bamboo boat ...

Tuesday, January 29 Drive from Thekkady, Kerala to Yercaud (6 hours) The drive took 8 hours,. the scenery was fascinating. Siena was sick with a stomach virus and sat in her Dad's lap the whole time - with periodic 'ketchups'. Yercaud located on the Servaroyan Hills in Salem District provide many charming vistas and panoramic scenic view. It is a pleasant hill station with an enjoyable climate. It is a major ...

Chilled out here only for the day. Nothing really muched happened, the joint is ok but we really didnt have to long to see much as we had our packs and blah blah blah. Only thing really to mention is that we paid for a "Volvo" bus and paid extra to get suspension and a sleeper. The trip from Goa to Banaglore is about 17 hours or so. Our sleeper was this tiny bed about 1.2metres across that Hastie and I had to share!! I looked at it and said to the bus ...

Head off for few days to WSW of Bangalore to 'Kodagu' region, commonly known as 'Coorg' by those who are from there. Another jeep, another driver. After an early start we arrive at lunch time amongst the rolling hills full of coffee estates not too far from Mercara (Madikeri), where we stay 'B&B' on a coffee plantation in a 1920s colonial type house. Sitting at 3500ft, the climate was extremely pleasant compared to what we had been used to. The surrounding hills were full of ...

Spent a few days seeing various friends of M&M including a man called 'Appachu' who invited us to visit him at his work. After starting from a makeshift office in his back garden around 25 years ago, he now has a huge building employing 600 folk in various countries. Named "Secon', his company is involved in aerial and topographical surveying, bore sampling, etc and consultancy work prior to various types of civil engineering projects.Whilst being shown around, I was intrigued to see a ...

After a lovely taxi ride up the coast from Pondicherry to Chennai we headed for the station to catch our train west to Bangalore. Concerned as to how we would find our train, and how we would carry our luggage through the crowded station, my concerns were soon allayed by the appearance of two 'coolies'. These men who were easily ID'd as they wore red shirts with red cloths on their heads soon came to offer us assistance. Both ...

Kodaikanal calling Stressful work lives and 12-14 hr working days make long weekends a dream come true for any professional It was this dream that we thought would come true when we planned a trip to the Princess of Hill Stations -Kodaikanal on the weekend of 15th August. It was supposed to be a "Liberation" from the constant buzzing of the phones and "Independence" from the innumerable mails popping up on Lotus Notes. So the tickets were booked one month in advance and the ...
