So, after checking out Hyderabad and actually getting to all of the things on our list.....we set out for our chill out destination......Puri! According to the guide books, there are three types of visitors to Puri; a) Bengalis on vacation, b) Hindus on a religious pilgrimage, c) Japanese and other foreign backpackers looking to chill out. We fell into the third category obviously, but when we arrived, we didn't see any other of our kind around. 'Our area' of town was about as empty as could be....of course, there was no shortage of auto and cycle rickshaws!
This was all well and good, but still it was a bit creepy when we went out because everyone wanted our business. When we ate a restaurant on the first night, we were talking to the manager/owner and he told us we were his first customers in 4 days. Wow!
It was nice and quiet, which was exactly what we were looking for....well, at least, I was looking for it since I had been on the road for a while.
Love, peace, and soul.
