Up early and set off to Kanyakumari - the sourthernmost tip of India after enjoying an Indian breakfast of egg curry and noodles (a kerala special).A brief overview of what we saw (I wont bore you with the detail - you'll have to put up with the photos when we get back!!!). We started off at Padmanabhapuram palace, on to Suchindram temple and then Kanyakumari. Things that stood out for me in the course of the day were:- Indian visitors get charged rs25 to visit the palace - 'foreign tourists' get charged rs200 - bit of a rip off me thinks given rough guide says its rs50...My efforts to haggle were to no avail however with the ticket office simply saying 'government change to charges'.. Pete almost refused to go in but given we'd made it there I paid and stomped in - I'm glad we went but I have to say it was nothing special - pete reckons the good stuff (furniture and paintings etcI have to say that i was disappointed that I couldnt see where the 3 seas met - I dont know what I expected really - there was never going to be a big sign was there! It was a long day of sightseeing then back to our hotel which is brilliant - staff are attentive and have good senses of humour (or perhaps I just think they're funny when they're trying to be really professional about things)- its filling up now as well so the season here is starting. We're heading back to Varkala tomorrow - I wonder how many of you guesssed that was going to happen - its so peaceful there and we both need a bit more time to chill out before we get on the real tourist trail! I've just started to be able to stop thinking about work - its actually been harder than I thought!
