Cabin Fever

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if your bed had wheels? Have you ever wondered what it would be like if said bed travelled across rocky, pot-holed, swervy terrain- honking and abruptly stopping at random? What's more, have you wondered what it would be like to share your bed with two mammoth suitcases and your best mate? Neither had we, but last night we found out!

And what fun it was - we're grateful for eye-masks, sleeping bag liners and for Jen being small and bendy! Thankfully the only sypmtoms we suffered of cabin fever were fits of giggles.

So, in case you're wondering, that was the 'deluxe' night bus to Pondicherry. We are truly grateful though for safe travels and also stumbling into the most peaceful, cleanest colonial era guest house we could have imagined. This is our first escape away from the big cities and we're really looking forward to a bit of chilled out sightseeing and reflection time, visiting Auroville - a utopian artist village - and our next project visit.

And did we mention that 'Pondy' is a beautiful French colonial town that sits on the Bay of Bengal and therefore is the Indian capital of French pastries and all things tres chic, n'est pas? Right ho, must bid you all bon nuit - we've got stars to gaze at from our personal rooftop terrace x

  1. Wow! The adventures continue. What days (and nights!) you're living. What memories you're storing! It feels I'm living it with you! Enjoy Pondi - and the pastries! (Mum maintained base camp a la Kilimanjaro during the night trip!) LoL xxxx
