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 […]
Travel Day 903 – Chennai to Mamallapuram, Tamil Nadu, INDIA After spending more time in Chennai then really necessary, this morning was definitely time to move on to better things… We actually had to move on quite early since check out turned out to be at 6am, which had been our arrival time two days […]
Travel Day 902 – Chennai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA After some back and forth yesterday we decided to stay one more day in Chennai, but the decision was mainly due to our laziness… The problem was that the guesthouse told us we would have to check out at the same time as we checked in, meaning […]
Travel Day 901 – Chennai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA It was our Arrival Day in Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu and it was a really early one since our train arrived at 4am in the morning… Obviously this was the wrong time to be negotiating a fair price for a rickshaw or a taxi because […]
Travel Day 900 – Visakhapatnam to Chennai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA Today was technically an Active Travel Day, but since our train didn’t leave until the afternoon, we decided to make it a short Travel Daycation as well… All local people we had seen in Vizag and Puri so far seemed to jump into the ocean […]
