What a busy 10 days its been! After a brief excusion up to Darjeeling I returned to Calcutta and started the big journey south. First stop was Orissa, a state that has just been devasted by floods. Puri, the town I was based in, wasnt affected but there almost no other tourists around! After Puri, it was a 20 hour train ride down to Chennai, and straight onto a bus for a two hour journey to Mamallapuram, a beach backpacker hangout. At the moment, I am sampling the French flavours and mediatation centers in Pondicherry before I head for the southern most tip of India!
Gurka monument just outside Darjeeling. The 8000m Kanchengazonda behind.
Good old Darjeeling Express. More a toy train than Express!
3AC - Three tier sleeper with Air-con. My choice of the 6 or so classes!
Not sure how much progress these men with buckets on their heads where making.
Local village that I visited after one of the guys started a conversation up while he was riding his Honda along side my bike!
Saachin's mother.
Tendulkur at the stumps.
Team photos after bowling a few (very wide) overs to these chaps!
This area of Orissa was so idyillic. Wish I could have stayed a week longer!

Fishing village kiddies with a mighty castle.
Fish, wonderful fish.
