Kodikanal. Hill Stations in the south of India 2500kms
Its freezing but like a garden, so many flowers, colors, and the view from the GH is like sitting in heaven. really, I can't stop laughing and smiling at everything, its so beautiful.
there's local chocolate here that nearly puts Cadbury to shame and I'm well making the most of it...ok a pig of myself. Today we'll have the local specialty - mushroom omelets, and wander off into the forest 13kms to an alternative community. No electricity, all organic, peaceful, with waterfalls, and, I hope, interesting people. May be like Auroville (near Pondicherry, awful, awful)) in which case I'll ran away hair flying!

Perhaps I need to explain that this is read by many people I've met including students, so the english is simple and the gossip censored. Still trying to leave Palolum, but the water is too clear, the people tooo crazy and the sand so white I'm getting sunburnt under the chin. Today I woke up too hot to move, to lazy to swim and covered in ants (munchies pay-back). 3 oranges in my bag and a juggling lesson this afternoon...hooo boy these are busy days :-) I've been here longer than most people now, and thus have become one of those weird long termers that I've always made and effort to met in such places...this is a good result.
The sea is full of jelly fish...harmless ones....we're off with goggles!
