Adhitya Hotel Tamil Nadu

... the city, they’d been arriving since Friday night, so were all enjoying some laid-back time, like me!! The difference was that I was just wearing my one-piece bathing costume, whereas the women wore a t-shirt with short sleeves and long shorts. There was little flesh on show at all – even the men wore modest, long shorts that were quite full. Absolutely no-one is seen to be revealing their bodily sexuality in any way.

I’d met a very polite young ...

... being shown thro’ their craft shop, I went to a local eatery for some food. Unfortunately, the Sri Meenaskshi Temple was closed between 1pm and 3pm and I’d arrived just after noon, so I needed to kill some time. I opted to go on the internet for a couple of hours, but the power in the town went down just 5 minutes after I’d logged on, so that option soon closed! Eventually, I got into the temple!

The Sri Meenaskhi Temple was designed in 1560 and is over 6 ...

After the Cape of strangeness we were headed to Tiruneveli....try saying it to yourself, go on...ok so some of you might be able to roll it off your tongue but I was having real difficulty. So when we finally got understood that this is where we were heading, off Lonely Planet territory, we got on another lovely bus... The reason we were going somewhere unpronounceable was because we were visiting SCAD. A charity called Social Change and Development. I'd ...

... we even considered staying past the date of our bus ticket. Kodia has a special place in my heart because we really got to know the town well and I just loved the beautiful surroundings. We found a cheap, local spot to get yummy food and ended up eating there pretty much every meal and got to know the owners on a first name basis. Hotel Best; don't let the name fool you, it's not a hotel, had the most friendliest staff ever and served some of ...

... par da vi naar til Trankebar. Vi bor paa et lille hotel ved siden af den gamle guvanoerbolig. Vi kan bruge faciliteterne her, men skal sove paa det andet hotel. Vaerelset er ok, men nogle gange gaar stroemmen og vandet forsvinder ogsaa. Udsigten er en bunke affald. Paa hotellet bor ogsaa en dansk efterskole, vestfyns efterskole. Vi spiser det dyreste mad indtil nu, i den fine gamle bolig (ca 75kr for os begge) og gaar ...

... medium and small sized pug marks looked like those of a leopard with its cub walking next to it. The dense shola forests are home to a wide array of wildlife and leopards are often seen here. Our friends saw a tiger kill and take away one of their cows, just a few weeks ago. I asked sceptically if it was a striped 'Puli' or just a spotted 'Puli', and was indignantly assured that big puss possessed "proper black lines" and was therefore most ...

... good mosquito repellent or that's the excuse). We had to move cottages three times over the 7 days the second one was also nice with a pond in the garden but the third was really really lovely with a 4 poster bed (a/c room) and actual bath and separate living room (nature cooled), also has a 4 poster in the garden with a palm cover. Gggggorgeous. They have no tv here as there want to shield us from the outside world and tv dross they say but they have a good dvd library ...

Ive just ate the best pizza ive maybe ever had!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3 cheeses - inclding a blue cheese (i think gorgonzola) MMMmmmmmm! Ive also had a nice evening walk, Pondy is nice! Ive had a good day today although quite uninspiring. Got the bus to Pondy although it was a bit of a bother. I got to the station at 8.45 only to find there was a strike on the busses to Pondicherry! I didnt understand what the guy was saying to me ...

Finding accommodation in Pondicherry is not an easy task, especially if you want to be near the sea. We left our bags in the bus station luggage place and took a rikshaw to a place in our guide book. The room was dark, dingy and more expensive than we wanted so we walked round for hours up and down levy roads all which connected in a grid type shape. There are lots of Ashram guest houses all which have ...

... foam to cushion the blow!!! Why did they make it so low in the first place?? 4 days spent here and both got first upset stomachs of the trip. Czech - Francouzy kolonizovane mesto Ponduceri jsme navstivili hned po Mamalapuram, byli jsme trosku jim zklamany, pac to co se pise o nem v knizkach, neodpovida skutecnosti, rusne prasne mesto, pachnouci ulicky, kde obcas lide zapominaji kde je WC a ne zas tak nic moc zajimaveho k videni.Navstivili jsme ale katedralu, a ...
