I conclude the indian diary with this picture of the suddern most point of the Indian subcontinent. It’s the temple city of Kannyakumari in Tamil Nadu. Here in the picture you see the temple in the very final tip of India, where three seas meet (Arabic sea, Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal).
If you think this picture depicts a party day or a special occasion, you are wrong, it was a normal week day! And manay people are bathing and having fun in the big (and dangerous) waves on the “tip”. It’s a popular destination for indians, both for plasure and for religios puroposes. The temple is open also to non indus, but all men have to take out their shirts (strange!); nearby there is also a free Ghandi memorial. Also some good shopping is available for reasonable prices.
Having reached the very end of India, it is now time to go back. But back where?
