Slowly (or quickly) getting into it and beginning to love India after only 4 days. Not sure what it is, although you can see the sights through the photos the smells and the sounds are terrific. And the food is amazing – sticking to our vegetarian (plus fish) pledge with great ease.
Today was planned as a sort of fill-in day. Nothing specific planned. Started with an early morning walk – usually a solitary affair for me but not today – it was packed.
That was about 6.30 – wonderfully cool with a sea breeze.
Breakfast on the terrace:
Morning in Auroville. See below for more info if you can read it.
An experiment in democratic and sustainable living, and beautiful as well.
Afternoon at leisure as the tour brochures might say. Eileen did some (very successful) clothes shopping, then visited a nearby beach when it got cooler. (Have I mentioned it’s quite warm😎!??)
And finally, horror of horrors, it’s an alcohol-free day in all the shops, bars and restaurants. So, wink wink, beer is served with foam in a coffee cup.
On our travels tomorrow – some serious temple sightseeing to come.
