Pondicherry

The French have saved us

Well what we thought was going to be one buss turned into 3, nice.

We not only stepped back in time here, we seemed to have changed countries!!! Pondicherry was once governed by the French, and we stayed in the french quarter, with wide clean streets beautiful pastel coloured buildings...very colonial. We ambled through parks, and promenaded along the beach front, even found coq au vin on some menus!! Pasta, Guy ate so much pasta.
There is no tax on Booze here so the beer is really cheap, even found a Carlsberg quart.

There are many Ghandi statues around this part of India, not only is he a national hero, he also made significant decisions in and around here ( weaving alt m his own cotton, and the end of the sarch).

Pondi is a great place, but other than the food and calm there is little here for our tastes and the beach is average. Great place to land up but good to be moving on.
