Back on dry land we headed for the southern most tip of India, where 3 seas meet at Kaniya Kumari; The Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea and The Bay
of Bengal. You can actually see Sri Lanka, which is only 30km away. It is also considered to be a very holy place and many people make the pilgrimage to bathe in the seas, often sleeping overnight in coaches, so as to save money on hotel rooms. Us being "Western Softies", chose not to take the coach option, but the hotel one instead. Our room had dual aspect windows; facing both east and west, meaning we had the best vantage point for sunset and sunrise the next day: Unfortunately it was cloudy for both. The other photos show scenes from the state of Tamil Nadu, a truly colourful place. Check out the chap selling pineapples off the back of a lorry.
