Konark and the Sun Temple

After spending a few days lounging around Puri, we finally decided to get out and do something. So, Kathryn and I decided to rent a moped and drive 37 kms north of Puri to Konark and check out the Sun Temple there. As some of you may know, my last moped ride wasn't exactly the smoothest, ending with a wipe out on the side of a road in the Bahamas. Thankfully, I bore the brunt of the injury and Carolyn walked away unscathed.

This time around, the ride was much better and I'm happy to report that there was no crash and hardly a close call at all! That's amazing given the road conditions, animals on the roads, the driving conditions, and overall hecticness of driving on the left hand side of the road. So, go me!

We arrived at the Sun Temple and were really amazed by the condition of the temple. It was really amazing to see that a lot of it was well kept and preserved. It was a beautiful temple and Kathryn and I were both really glad we made the journey. Both the temple and the ride were a lot of fun!

Love, peace, and soul.
