we've run out of land!
we've arrived at the most southern point in India, Kanyakumari -> where three oceans meet, the bengal (east), arabian (west) and Indian (south). From now on we can only head north as we've run out of land!
Its a very sacred place, a pilgrimage town for hindu's. As shiva battled one of the other bad gods on a rock offshore from the town. And Gandhi's ashes were kept here for people to pay worship to before his ashes were cast into the ocean. There is a memorial here now.
Walking round the town and sights yesterday Fiona got adopted, her adopted sisters dragged her around a temple whilst i was trying to keep up being the good sherpa that i am.
ran out of times fiona said "that's beautful!" :) but it really is..

Don't forget - although I know it will be hard to think of it as "winter" - but on December 21st it's the Winter Solstice. If you find any orchards, give them a good apple wassailing from me (that is, if you have any time left over from watching non-porn porn).
Be good
