The difference a man can make

With the change of driver came a different atmosphere. Our old driver seemed like part of our trip he became a friend. His welcoming smile and positive energy made everything ok. What I loved about him was he didn't try he just naturally was a really lovely person. Our new driver just wasn't as nice. He was creepy and off and wasn't making it pleasant to be in the car with. Like turning the AC off not stopping when I asked, not cleaning the car and saying very weird things altogether. 
But we still had two more destinations and i was really excited to see both. We travelled to the most southern tip where the three oceans meet Kanyakumari which had such an eery feel to it. I could feel the presence of the tsunami five years ago, as the huge waves crashed against the ocean, I felt a chill To my bones. Unfortunately our driver wouldn't leave us alone and wanted to accompany us everywhere, so our group became three.


 From there we drove to Rameswaram to visit the most incredible Hindu temple dedicated to the god Shiva I think this has been one of the most fascinating things I've seen. We spend hours wandering around Alessia in awe, people coming from everywhere to reap the benefits of the 22 holy wells. We were blessed and I watched how others prayed and gave up their power to the Hinu god. Elephants are very sacred animals and my heart sunk as I watched a chained up elephant stand and pose while everyone 

blessed themselves beside it. 
Our hotel was clean and nice and had a lovely buffet. It was a perfect end to our tour. We drove to Madhur to catch our plane to Pune. We were going to stay with a friend I had met in New York. Alessia was delighted it was her last car journey for a while and i was even happier I didn't have to put her or me through that again. I was so excited to see Pune see my friend his wife and family. The last leg was about to begin only 13 short hours and we would be there 😊
