So, after going it on my own for about three weeks, I was definitely glad that Kathryn, whom I met while traveling in Egypt, would be joining me for the second half of my Indian adventure. Not only is it great to have someone to split costs with, it's also great to have someone see all of the same things you are seeing as sometimes it's just too much to describe! You really almost have to visit India just once in your life to take it all in for yourself.
She arrived in Chennai a few hours later than planned, but in tact, and ready to travel. So, we left the airport and found the cheapest and easiest way back to our hotel.....the suburban train! And that's where Kathryn was introduced to her first Indian experience of being crammed into a tight, dark, hot place and being surrounded by sweaty Indian men! It's a wonder she didn't get a taxi back to the airport!
After making it to the hotel, we picked out our plan for the next two weeks: Pondicherry, back to Chennai, Hyderabad (despite the recent blasts), Puri, and then Kolkatta. Pretty aggressive for two weeks, but we built in a couple of days in Puri on the beach. So we've still got some down time.
More later......
Love, peace, and soul
