We are attracting a lot of attention in Tamil Nadu - probably because we seem to be some of the only foreign tourists at the temples sites we have been visiting. Many Indian tourists have asked to take photos alongside us, and some children have asked to have their photos taken in front of the temples just because they are curious to see how they look on Troy's camera - very sweet!
We hired a private driver to take us from Pondicherry to Tiruchirappalli, via Chidambaram and Thanjavar, as this was the easiest way to get to the temple complexes Troy had researched. Clare liked Nataraja Temple in Chidamabaram and the colourful yoga poses depicted on the ceilings (Natarajasana is "dancer's pose" in yoga), and Troy enjoyed Brihadeeswara Temple in Thanjavar which dated back to the 11th century and had beautiful carvings.
We also got an Indian sim card for approximately $5 CAD which gives us 1 GB PER DAY of data for a month, and unlimited calling in India. Yes, you read that correctly.
