Leaving Pondicherry to take the night train south to Rameswaram. Pondy has been kind to us so far but last night was a bit of a bust. Seems to be few places to eat here that aren't either very shady or very expensive. Ended up walking around for a bit then eating Crisps for tea. Not the culinary highlight we were hoping for.
Went to the temple to see the temple elephant blessing people and then got an early night, taking advantage of the clean room and hot water at our hotel.
Today we ate at a rooftop place for breakfast and then stayed in the room with the a/c on before reluctantly heading out into the 40 degree heat! Had some chai at a cafe on the seafront, then a thali at a place a bit like a diner. It was very good.
Sorry it is not that exciting but Pondy isn't that exciting. Lots of French Expats here side by side with some horrible poverty - people sleeping in the street wrapped in nothing but towels etc.
We need to leave for the train station around 6pm. It's quite likely that we won't be able to get any internet access now until we get to Madurai on Boxing Day, so to everyone at home, have a great Christmas and don't get too drunk!
