Sunday 6th January After a decent kip, I had breakfast at the guesthouse before heading out onto the beach to get some sun. It is noticeably warmer in Varkala than it had been in Goa, which itself was very warm at times. The sun is also more intense, ... Read more >

On the next day we tried to get to Madurai. What a balls-up. Because i was feeling a little anal and self-conscious about my pre-planning (the others have done none!), I let aaron figure out how we were going to get there. We ended up travelling the ... Read more >

We spent the first part of the evening trudging around like turtles with our massive rucksacs, and meeting "sorry , full" signs at every place. Argh, I was ready to sleep on the street, so long as it meant I could put my bag down. Finally, ... Read more >

Friday 4th January The day started off early, as Anja and

Thursday 3rd January The night was a cold one, similar to those I experienced in the north of the country at the start of the trip, so my sleep wasn’t the most comfortable. After breakfast, Anja and I bought tickets for entry into the Periyar Wildlife ... Read more >
