Today we arrived in Thanjvur from Madurai.We took a local bus from Madurai which was more comfortable than I expected- all for 40 pence each....
Both Madurai and Thanjvur are temple towns but Thanjvur has a temple dated from 1000 AD that is also a Unesco World Heritage Site. It was amazing in it's red carved stone. Although we found the temple interesting the locals founds us much more so and many were keen to have their photos taken with us. We have a list of several addresses and counting of photos we will send to people when we get home!!
The south Indian main lunch dish is called Thali and it is really good. It is a bowl of rice with 6 or 7 small pots of curries, chilli and yoghurt all served on a banana leaf....
Tommorrow we head to Trichy (there is a longer Indian name for the town but I struggle to spell it or pronounce it), another and our final 'temple' town and then onwards to Pondicherry on the bay Of Bengal.
