This is a great place, I just love it here it is almost a shame that we are only here for one day. I'm not totally sure what it is about this town that I like so much, in many ways it is very similar to all the other places we have visited. It just gives off nice vibes, I think that is all I can put it down to. There are lots of shops selling all the touristy good and lots of restaurants but there is also this great park and some temples to see. I think it just...

It is the biggest temple I have seen so far in India, with an impressive array of several towers varying ...

We have arrived at the most southern tip of India, entering a new state called Tamil Nadu. The journey here has been quite different to the last section of driving, it is mainly villages all the way; not so much rural areas but with these amazing mountains in the distance. After arriving we head down to the tip, predominately to take photos, there is not an awful lot to see here, it's just exciting to be at the very bottom of India and that we are about to start...
