oh la la

We enjoyed Mumbai and are now safely but sadly returned to Switzerland

namaste

go jul

Vi couchsurfade en natt i "Old Goa" lagom till firandet av St Francis, Goas skyddshelgon. 

Sedan stack vi norrut till hippiesarna i Arambol och skaffade sand mellan tarna.

Nu ar vi i Mumbai!

What people usually think about our relation...

1. Malin is Ellinors touristguide. (The most common one)

2. We are sisters.

3. We are having a relationship (not just a friendly one)

4. We do not know each other (People ask Ellinor if she is travelling alone while Malin stands beside)

5. Ellinor has adopted Malin (Adopted? By this lady?)

6. Ellinor has kidnapped Malin and is now returning her to India

BANGALORED

Things we lost:





- the usb-cable for Ellinor's camera (there was never such a thing as Malin's camera)
- the 5 pm train Kochi-Bangalore, for which we had a sleeper class reservation
- the Bible (i.e. Lonely Planet India)

Things we found:

- seats in general class on the 8.35 pm train Kochi-Bangalore. Sub-find: music lesson (Sa Ri Ga Ma Pa Da Ni Sa)
- the Bangalore Palace
- a violin-shaped concert hall where a violin-genius aged 15 performed tonight

The sum of the cardamom: we got bangalored but we're happy about it!

God's Own Country

Trots att tiden borjar bli knapp gjorde vi en avstickare till Cochin i Kerala, "God's Own Country" som regionen marknadsfor sig. Vi strosar pa gamla koloniala gator och vi beundrar de kinesiska fiskenaten.

Idag tog vi farja och buss till stranden i Cherai, 2 mil harifran, och drack juice med tjeckiska Alice. 

Bear Shola falls

Forklaring till gardagens rubrik : Hotellet som vi bor pa heter "Strawberry Park". Idag far vi till Kochi, som ligger i Kerala!
