Trying to pretend that the hip pain caused by too much shopping yesterday doesnt exist - the first of my hip replacements doesnt like lengthy trips. Instead I'll think positive: about where I'm going.
First I plan to travel down through Tamil Nadu, visiting the main Dravidian temple sites. These were mainly built during the dynasties of the Cholas, Pallavas and Pandyas, some as early as the 7th or 8th centuries A.D.
Then I plan to work my way up the coast of Kerala, where I will concentrate more on the scenery, an occasional beach stop, trips on the backwaters, and hopefully some delicious food! If there is time, I will fit in a trip on the Nilgiri Blue Mountain railway to the hillstation of Ooty. As usual I'm trying to pack far too much into five weeks ...
You can see maps of these two states on my website, at http://francesallen.com/travel/india_2007/maps/index.html
