INDIA. South Route

So far we have not been deaf, but we suspect that many millions of Indians should be very well the ear or head. This country deafen and mute ... That habit of honking at all hours, buses, toc-toc (motorbike taxi), the train, etc.. blaring and no matter if you go to a passenger or pedestrian, car horns are heard in stereo. And if you add sound to the top of the clunkers of music or TV, as worse. 

Of course, we went down to Varkala, almost at the southwest tip and we're coming up the coast of the Indian Ocean (Sea of ​​Bengal). We had to prioritize sites because we did not have it delayed public transport. We took by train, bus, taxi, toc-toc, ferry. On average, driving in bus at 35 km / h train to about 50. So travel can be eternal, especially in the ramshackle buses. We must reconcile the itinerary and have sought sites "small" and quiet to relax and not go crazy and deaf. We relax with yoga or meditation that these things are not going, we prefer the beach or people.

Last week we've been in several cities of Tamil Nadul, large towns of over 1 million inhabitants, but that warrants a visit for its temples. Share route with Nadia, a Colombian who happened to find ourselves in Ooty, where they grow on you MOTAN.

Yesterday we had a kind of anthropology or sociology in India. The reason was the 20 hour train sleeper (sleeper train) from Chennai to Bhuvaneswar where we are now. Interesting to share so many hours with the Indian peasantry.

Here the beggars have grown exponentially, people shot, the shacks and dirt. While bathing, many bananas, green water problem is the room that used to bathe and wash clothes. We hand wash in hotels, in case.

We were struck by the number of taps in the bathrooms (although it does not operate one). We have used cup and hollow, although the former are most common in the hostels. There is no lack at least one bucket and a plastic jug for Plan B, the shower totumazos.

The food is still good. We had a little stomach discomfort, without acute diarrhea. Our stomach was not as globetrotters, but the truth have eaten at many sites to which any of you do not enter.

All right, arrive in a few days in Calcutta. Then on to Nepal, but this will be another story.

Now go count them ...
