Madurai is famous for its amazing temples and skanky, smelly streets. It was a facsinating place - the roads full of pilgrims visiting the main temple and cows parked up with the motorbikes. We found a quiet spot on the 10th floor of The Plaza Break Hotel where Sam celebrated her birthday above the smog and chaos. We had our first chick pea dahl style dish here. Over the next few days the chick peas came out the other end of our bodies like bullets!! Won't be trying that again!!
We caught the overnight train to Varkala and booked into a great place by the beach. It was very touristy, but beautiful and sooo clean! We spent 4 days lazing on the beach, drinking fruit lassies and enjoying the sun. A huge culture leap from Madurai, but not an unwelcome one.
