Meenakshi Temple
From Kathmandu we flew to Bangalore via Delhi, but unfortunatelly we missed the Bangalore connection by one minute and we flew four hours later. In hurry in Bangalore AirPort we took a taxi to the train station and we hardly caught the night train to Madurai.

We spent the next day at Meenakshi Temple and took a half day tour to the other interests. They didn't allow us to take pictures at the Meenakshi Temple. The huge towers with figures on are not temples, only the entrance doors to the temples. The temple is magnificient and the architechnical work seems much more than Hagia Sophia in Istanbul.

Then we spent a night at Tiger Rezerve Periyar and visited Munnar tea gardens and finished the next day at Kochin.

Visited Jew Area with Sinagog and learned that only five Jews left to live in Kochi . Gunay did some silk shopping.

The best part of our trip in Kerala was Backwaters. Kochin to Kottayam by bus. Then visiting Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary and then by boat to Allepey. The next day to Kollam on the Backwaters 8 hours. We spent a night in Varkala where we met our friends

Cengizciğim resimleri hep kartpostallardan mı koyuyorsun ne sizleri çok seyrek görüyoruz. Metinleri her zaman okuyamıyorum. Önüt'lerle ayrıldınız mı. İyi eğlenceler.
