return to kerela
I would also love to go back to kerela so perhaps we can go together some time. I would like to see more of the wildlife parks further north but Kochi is nice too and the back waters and we have not been to kovallum................ Shame you didn't get to the tea gardens but you have seen them elsewhere I think - I think Goa might be a bit of a shock to the system after Kerela = Much more comercialized. give my love to kerela

kerela
Glad you love Kerela, even on a budget, and that it wasn't just the way we did it that made it so special. We did the morning walk thing and the lake boat trip, and stayed right on the Lake aat the hunting lodge you must have seen. periyar was really my favourite place of all, because we were so close to nature. Sounds like you saw more than us, of small wildlife - though we were lucky enough to see elephants. In fact we had just arrived at the Park and were taking the boat over to the Hotel and there they were drinking bu the Lake - we assumed they would be a common sight after that but of course they weren't and those were the last we saw close up. No tigers though. they are even rarer, although they had been seen from the hotel only the week before, again but people who didn't realise this was special so didn't tell anyone til they had gone! I think your squirrel is like that too. we did't see them. I did wonder about trying to book the Lake palace for Christmas and meeting up with you there - but it really would have been extortionate at that time of year! Anyway hope you continue to enhoy the place and the people as much as we did. Love to you all helen

To the very stupid person who think i don't know what an interval is.
Who ever just accused me of walking out of the bond moive during the interval, i can assure you i did not. I do have a univeristy degree (first class) so i'm not that thick. Further i can also assure you it was very badly cut. I have seen it twice and bits were missing the second time. So there!

Boobs & wobbly heads
see what you mean by the shiney boobs! But they do look very tactile. I think the wobbly head thing means" I want to say no, but I don't want to be impolite", or sometimes "I am not sure", I found you got used to it, but then we were not having to deal with getting about booking rooms etc, that was all taken care of and so were we, without that we might have foungd it frustrating too

Dearest Jennifer:-) Sorry I haven't been in touch.. It's partly because your update emails go to my hotmail address, which I invariably forget to check, and partly because I've been rather busy.. which is an odd feeling! As I think I may have mentioned I'm working in a fairtrade clothes shop, doing voluntary work training, and yoga! Anyhoo, I'm going to have a good read through your entries, and comment again soon. Hope your having the most fabulous of fabulous times. Loving you loads! Dorothy xXx

Horror
I remember as quite a young child going to a war museum in Belgium which included loads of pictures of concntration camps, piles of dead bodies, and people who were almost dead, I have never forgotten those images, and it made me realise what humans are capable of doing to each other. It seems hard to understand and yet it seems to be in all of us. But then so is the other side of compassion, unselfishness and self sacrifice, perhaps we can't have one without the potential of the other, but I am sure we can choose which one we want to have upper most in our lives.

some more..
oh, and yes, the chick in egg thing is a chinese thing - not accidental. I think thats why I used to have nightmares about opening an egg and it having a chick inside. And go to the Cu Chi tunnels outside of Saigon - I had to crawl on my hands and knees.

hi
yo, glad to see you're enjoying 'nam! I can sympathise with the money-grabbing-ness. I have blogged now! and managed to put 35 photos on! Havn't been blogging v much, or you'd just get lesson recaps.... Off to Manali this weekend, should be cool. I'm hoping to do the lazing around in hammocks thing soon...you seem to have been doing loads! I'm booking my trains soon, should get to Varanasi, Bodh Gaya and Kolkata before Chennai - several other idex people should be in Chennai, so maybe we could all go out to dinner or something one night. see you soon! Rachael

Jen - Blogs are all good. Chicks in eggs are normal as far as I know so probably not a mistake. Photos are cool. It is good to see what you are doing and some of the things that you have seen. Nothing chaged here, will email soon. Phil x

Boo!
Hey there, I just found your blog through Sam's (nobody told me you two were doing blogs!) Look like you're having a great time, the photos are beautiful! Wish I could be there, I find other cultures and religions really interesting. I'm trying to think of news from York but can't think of much. My brother's band Pantheon seems to be doing fairly well (he's the drummer) and they're getting a few gigs now. Cert 18 even got in touch with them when they needed a band at short notice, so that's got to be a good thing. Anyhoo, hope you continue to have a great time and I shall keep an eye on yours and Sam's blogs. Bighugs, Hazel. x
