21 February 2014 – En route to Kottayam, India
What’s it like to take a long distance bus in Kerela? Well, much like taking a city bus elsewhere in India…the breeze is nice.

Things looking up and a view down from our Green View “Villa” on a plantation (-esque) in Munnar, India.
An utter disaster, second mile stop, a couple of kilometers outside of Munnar hill town, India.
A visit to the old Paradesi Synagogue in Fort Cochin, India. Unfortunately no videos or photographs allowed inside. But if you ever find yourself in Fort Cochin, go here! Fascinating murals depicting Jewish migration to Kerela, the building, destruction (by the Portuguese) of the original synagogue, and the rebuilding (by the Dutch) of the building…
Coming to you from the rooftop of an art gallery in Colaba neighborhood, Mumbai, India.
It’s 4 o’clock! at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, formerly known as Victoria Terminus Station, in Mumbai, India.
Day 1 in Mumbai – our favorite big city in India. It is striking how different Mumbai is from all other places we’ve seen in India.
Happy Valentines day from India’s most romantic city — Udaipur. It is also one of the most famous, thanks to the fact that James Bond Octopussy was filmed here, and the Lake Palace run by the Taj Hotel Group is a world class luxury destination (maybe next time?)
A visit to the Monsoon palace on the outskirts of Udaipur, India. Plus a cameo fo Guillermo, our new friend from Argentina.
A visit to the palace fort in Udaipur, complete with a $10 beer at the cafe. Those princely attractions!
AC Chair, fancy pants class for short distance travel on Indian trains. Well, maybe not too fancy. But you do get your own chair that no one can squeeze you from.
We climbed all the way to the top of Ratnagiri hill, which hosts the small Savitri temple, to bring y’all the views of tiny (!) Pushkar.
