Day3 Trivandrum

Travelling isnt as easy as one might think.I have to admit,India has been the biggest challenge so far on the travelling front.It fabulous,exhausting petrifying and intense all in one.But today is the first day where im beginning to feel like Im settling in a small bit.
Yesterday was amazing- i drove a tuk tuk,Sashi's of course on a relatively quiet part of the road,such fun!after that we went and saw crocoldiles,monkeys and elephants,god i love elephants....went on an elephant ride through the jungle which i loved....
After that we went all the way down the coast,over the roughest of roads,and nearly crashing on numerous occasions,how i am still alive i really dont know,ive really adopted the saying 'inshallah' which the arabs and indians use basically it means ' its in gods hands'....not when youre driving in a three wheeled tuk tuk its not,but anyway...so we went to kovalam beach where there was a lot of commotion because the local fishermen were dragging in nets full of fish...it was amazing to watch so i went straight in amongst all of them to get some shots....ive never seen such excitement.
Had a real indian meal after that,and watched sashi destroy the plate of food,with his right hand,its rude to use your left hand,his fingers were his fork and knife and he looked at me strangely as i used mine.Its the small things like this that are fascinating.Tired and sweaty,we got back on the tuk tuk to face the long journey back,but i was so caught up in watching the people on the streets as we drove that the journey flew....
Last trip was to an indian supermarket,another experience in itself.All the different rices and spices,was fabulous,but again i could feel eyes on me every move i made,people looking in my basket to see what i was buying....
So today im taking it easy and am more comfortable walking around the city on my own,tomoro is the beginning of the yoga ashram so im looking forward to that and getting away from the intensity of the city...
