Rameswaram vignette

Hi! Your article really made me remember how it is in India! I haven't been back for 11 years and am planning a trip in 2008.
I love how you write about how the coincidences just pile up and then one just lets go....
Hugs, fellow traveler!

thanks! yes, my life has been one long trip of letting go and just letting it flow....

Hi YogaGal!

I enjoy reading yr trip to Rameswaram very much. I come from Hong Kong and am going to spend 2 days in Rameswarm next month. I know that there are 2 Tamil Nadu Hotels. May I know which hotel you were staying at? And was the room clean (except the ants)? Being a virgo, I very much care about this...(although i tell myself need to lower my standard for my trip to Tamil Nadu coz I mostly will stay at middle class/budget hotels)

Tons of thanks!

hmmmm.....my place was right on the ocean, but sorry, don't know if that would be #1 or #2...when you make a reservation just say you want the one on the ocean side. if you look in my photo gallery you will see a pic I took off the balcony...

it was clean enough and I am also picky. did not have any ants at all! it's a cheap place, so expect the usual shabbiness you get with an inexpensive indian hotel.

Hi Sama
Loved your tale of adventure and daring-do in Rameswaram.
I will be a lone female(also of a certain age but a bit less bendy than you!) on a bike next summer, cycling from Chennai to Kanyakumari. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Lovely story. And it's nice to know that some touts can actually help be helpful in their guidance!
