From Kanniyakumari to Chennai to Pondicherry we crossed the big Tamil Nadu state.
In Kanniyakumari, the southernmost point of India, we mixed with the pilgrims, coming barefoot from all over India, each worshiping a different God. There we had la Croisette experience: each group of people we met was asking to take a picture of us, or with us: most pilgrims came from remote villages, and they never see foreigners. A group of five westerners was not possible to miss (and Dan is almost two metres tall!). So we managed to see the sunset and the sunrise from the same spot. But the best part was the very crowd: all a surprise, from people making tattoos in the middle of a dusty street to women with her tongue pierced by a long dagger.

Preparing a decent article, complete with images and references, it is a surprisingly long operation. Especially because I need a wireless connection with my laptop for uploading the photos, not a simple internet café, let alone the fact that I’m writing in English.
Dear Pi,

You have toured India…. now what?
Ah, by the way every hotel in the civilised world performs the artistic toilet paper trick!
Yes, it is not like I go tho civilised hotels that often …
The wedding is on June 13. I plan to arrive at the beginning of the month. Any advice on cheap flights from south east Asia to Europe is more than welcome!
