Whew! Delhi was only a day out of our 10 day trip, yet takes much time to write about! -And that's not everything, we missed the Red Fort, and didn't get the chance to walk through the market madness at Chandni Chowk- Oh well, I was happy to get out of that Jakarta-esque crowdedness. And out of our tourist bus, which broke 3 times in a day. Leaving us to steam with sweat under the Delhi smog (this 3rd time, we were lucky to find a tree to shade under):
The trip from Delhi to Pondi takes 4 hours plane ride to Chennai (Madras), and 4 hours car ride to Pondi (Pondicherry). India is bigger than what it seems. Chennai is a big hub city in Southern India, and Pondi is a smaller town. After this, we'll mostly be spending time out in the rural areas, and the universal city of Auroville. So not to confuse Pondi with the Aurovillians' hippie-ecological living, this is what Pondi looks like...
Look! They have Bata shoes over there!!!
