Pondicherry

Got the bus to Pondicherry (a mere 4 hour journey!) it was grand the women sat beside me but then the men asked to sit down and I was like yeah of course! Bless them.. Had a wonder about at first was a little surprised that it was another big city full of chaotic traffic where every vehicle uses their horn to indicate that they are coming round the corner due to lack of any order or traffic lights!! I don't know how I'll escape these 6 weeks without some kind of road traffic accident! Stayed at Kamala Lodge when I checked in the every pleasant reception man barked "No outside guests after 11.30pm" I was like no problem smiling "I've got no friends here!" Oooow the response I got.. Obviously we worked on a differing level of humour.. But discovered a gorgeous park - some of the cutest kids ran up to me and were asking my name etc.. they were adorable.. Also I got my photo taken with this guy's father and brother - I must have looked the most dishevelled and unattraictive in my life but whatever makes them happy! Also there is a beach - Im not going to lie the sand was littered with well rubbish but it was nice to see all the families out and everyone was having a good time..
