Ancient Buildings Everywhere

We trundled to a nearby restaurant for breakfast. We ate the standard northern Indian paratha- one with onion and garlic, the other more unusual ... honey topped!


We made our way to the palace, we walked around the outside and continued to explore. Monument after monument, small village after small village, small child playing with their friends after small child playing with their friends!


Beautiful views in every direction. In addition to the temples we were blessed with a beautiful river strewn with large boulders and beautiful fields of crops. Apparently there were a few crocs around but we didn't find any.

We entertained small children, dogs and cows as we strolled from site to site. The tracks got harder to follow along the river so we headed inland. We were blocked by walls, gates, fences but they didn't deter us. We found a way through and back to the main road. We crossed over and continued to a few temples on the other side. We passed a few old abandoned Ambassador cars and some old houses before stumbling on more ruins from the past.
In all our walking temple tour equated to about 14km and we ended up at the riverside. Where we took sunset photos in the golden light and drank chai.


Our friend told us about a huge tree that was really, really old. We were taken to it. What was unusual was that as one man pulled on the left branch, not only didit move but also the right branch that was far, far away. Not really sure how this worked but it was quite unusual especially as the tree trunk was MASSIVE!


Back at home we partied once again. Our friends daughter had reached 5 years old. She had a pretty cake, sat in a princess throne and she cut the cake. We all are a piece. She was so excited. People gave her money and she hat lots of little presents. She had waited all day for this and the excitement on her face was priceless. The house was decorated with balloons and banners for her special day!


We played games, wore ourselves out. Drank more chai and slept Zzzz

Up at 6.55 to meet our 7am breakfast slot. Breakfast was amazing and we ate the lot from dried fruit to double bacon and eggs. All washed down with posh coffee - awesome. Packing the bikes was easy but it takes a little bit of time ... We started our journey about 8.30. We passed our friend's house, his kids school and his allotment. We got a little lost in Southampton due to road closures but after a little back tracking from the scary dual carriageway, all was good. A lot of our route followed the National Cycle Trail 246, however it kept disappearing into nowhere. We eventually found it again but miles away from where we last saw the signs. We passed over lots of water today, saw lots of boats and had puncture number 2! Fixed, we headed off again. A few diversions, some nice tracks and now we could see the Spinnaker tower in the distance. This added a little motivation to the pedalling. A quick stop in Waitrose to stock up on goodies and we arrived at our destination - Portsmout...

Our alarm woke us early as we have to catch the 8am train, which is about an hour's travel away.  Two friends were due to give us a lift to the bus stop on the back of their motorbikes.  However one overslept so the other asked his brother in law to give us a lift in his car!  Rather than dropping us at the end of the road at the bus stop, he kindly took us to the bus station. A bus was about to leave so we jumped on.  This bus took us back into Kozhikode where it was a short walk to the train station.  On arrival we discovered the train we were going to catch was delayed by 1.5 hours.  However another train, which took longer, was running on time so would get us there half an hour before our original train now would.  We bought our tickets and waited.  The station was filling up fast, which is always worrying when you only have a general ticket, so no allocated seat ...  and the journey is 5.5 hours. The train arrived on time and we jumped in a carriage which was less crowded, alt...

First Day Explorers

After a good night's sleep, we woke early...ish for breakfast. We were hoping for a traditional Indian spicy fair but got a traditional boiled egg, bread and jam. We washed it down with a hot cup of Chai, so all was good. We ventured out in search of a few sites, however were easily distracted by fresh fruit platters, mango lassis and mobile phone cover shops. Next, an ATM stop to test various SBI machines. One small branch failed but the head office one worked. This was near the Mumbai stock exchange, complete with bull outside. We ended up at Horniman circular garden. An interesting name but the garden was being 'refurbished' - dug up. Marine drive is famous amongst the people of Mumbai. A huge boulevard next to the sea for romantic strolls. The stroll today wasn't filled with romance, more noise pollution as the whole sea defence boulevard was being fixed. Almost all of it for mile after mile. We had to walk on the dual carriageway but soon got fed up and headed inla...
