Pushkar

By now the heat was really getting to us. We're not complaining but we'd been on the go for a few weeks now so we were looking forward to getting to Pushkar & chilling out. And that's exactly what we did. It's a really small, quiet little place with a lot of temples all scattered around the...

Cochin

We hired a tuk tuk to take us around to all of the interesting sights of Cochin. We saw how the Chinese fishnets operate. These nets were evidently designed by the Chinese over 1,000 years ago and are still being used. They are manually lowered into the water from land and, after...
