Temple Tourists
________________
After a promenade in Pondicherry it was time to start the journey back towards India’s south-western coast.
Thanjavur was our overnight stop.

A south Indian breakfast provides more than sufficient calories to fuel the rigours of temple tourism. But should hunger overwhelm the pilgrim, spiritual snacking is permitted.

Thanks, Glynn. it’s been great fun re-living the journey through my blog. But I must warn you: there are another four postings before it’s finished..
Those who wish to leave before the final soundtrack is played have my full understanding!

It’s good to know that one need not starve on pilgrimage. Are those Jack Fruit on the barrow? Have you ever eaten one?

Yes, they’re jackfruit. I’ve eaten them cooked in curries, fried as chips and crisps, and au naturel as dessert. Though I have to say, as fruits, they tend to provoke mighty indigestion!
I understand elephants are extremely partial to them…
