Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu

We drove down to Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu state yesterday to view the Land's End... it is where the Arabian Sea, The Indian Ocean, and the Bay of Bengal meet. Again, another gorgeous site.... but slightly (or a bit more than that) spoiled by the fact that you can't walk more than one step without being harrassed by the masses of beggars and peddlers. Did we mention that Shirinne needed to break open the Imodium yesterday? Yeah... It wasn't our best day. But hopefully things will start to get better. ;)

On the day of the Tsunami, the waves were so high that they came up to the face of the statue shown in this picture. Though the town did not show many signs of destruction, we were told that there were many fishermen out that day that were just swept away by the waves. Very sad.

We are leaving Kerala today for Delhi. It has been a really "interesting" stay to say the least. I just finished about an hour conversation with the manager here at the Le Meridian Hotel detailing our 99 grievances. Haha... We've been a little disappointed with this face of "God's Own Country"... and especially with the so called 5 star hotel we've been staying at for the past 3 nights. It's really a shame because its such a beautiful place.

Miss you all... LOts of love!!
Shirinne (&Vic)
