Travel Day 916 – Kochi and Kerala Backwaters, INDIA We had heard so much about the backwaters of Kerala and with only little time on hand we decided to do a little day-trip… Even if I personally am not a big fan of organized tours, this one seemed to make sense because it would allow […]
Travel Day 915 – Fort Cochin, Kochi, Kerala, INDIA It was our Arrival Day in Kerala and in terms of arrival in Kochi, it was much to early my personal taste… The train was scheduled to arrive at 4am in the morning and since Kochi wasn’t the final destination on this train, we had to […]
Travel Day 914 – Madurai to Kochi, Kerala, INDIA While I was still feeling a bit sick today, we nevertheless had to start making a move in order to hold our schedule and the best option seemed to be some Overnight Travel… For my travelling spouse it was the last train ride in India and […]
Travel Day 913 – Madurai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA While day yesterday had been quite an uneventful day, unfortunately the night wasn’t as uneventful and by the early morning it was quite obvious that we were not going anywhere on the bus today… It was wired but I had been feeling unwell ever since we visited […]
Travel Day 912 – Madurai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA Since we already saw the big temple yesterday, it seemed there wasn’t too much to do in Madurai and so we took it easy in the morning… Madurai was quite a hot destination anyway and we couldn’t really be bothered to walk around too much, but a […]
Travel Day 911 – Tanjavur to Madurai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA It was an Active Travel Day again, but this time we had to continue our journey by bus instead of the train… This wasn’t the biggest of all deals, but it was definitely always more comfortable to travel in the train than by bus. In […]
Travel Day 910 – Thanjavur (Tanjore), Tamil Nadu, INDIA It was our only full day in Thanjavur (Tanjore) and we had two main items on the agenda, on the one hand we wanted to visit the Royal Palace and on the other the Brihadishwara Temple… Since the Royal Palace was supposed to be open continuously, we […]
Travel Day 909 – Pondicherry to Tanjavur, INDIA It was an Active Travel Day again and luckily we took the train further south instead of the bus, as I was not feeling too well today… Actually after questioning everything that Auroville was supposed to stand for and not being quite sure about what to make out […]
Travel Day 908 – Pondicherry and Auroville, Tamil Nadu, INDIA Auroville, I had heard so much about it, but since most of it seemed rather vague, today was finally the day to find out what Auroville was all about… But first of all we had the desire to start the day with some nice croissants […]
Travel Day 907 – Pondicherry (Puducherry), Tamil Nadu, INDIA Today was Republic Day in India and we had no idea what that would mean for us when our day began… As we soon found out, it mainly meant that the city was more busy and people were running around with India flags and stickers. But […]
Travel Day 906 – Mamallapuram to Pondicherry, INDIA Today we were planning to have an early start of the day, but unfortunately everything took a whole lot longer than expected… There was no bus going directly from Mamallapuram to Pondicherry (Puducherry) and from what we understood we had to go to the main road and […]
Travel Day 905 – Mamallapuram, Tamil Nadu, INDIA Initially we wanted to carry on already today and see the next town, but instead we decided to have a nice Travel Daycation at the beach… Since we had pretty much seen all the UNESCO Sites within the city of Mamallapuram, today we reckoned we could just […]
Travel Day 904 – Mamallapuram (Mahabalipuram), INDIA After seeing the two UNESCO Sites of the Shore Temple and the Five Rathas yesterday, today we definitely had to see the rest of the many temples in and round this little beach town of Mamallapuram… Considering the hot temperatures during the middle of the day, we opted for […]
