Fort Cochin and Sivananda Ashram

After Munnar I took a public bus back towards the west coast to a city called Fort Cochin, which is an old europian colonial area in the state of Kerala in southern India. It was a wonderful break from normal India, clean, quiet, good food and solid buildings. I spent a few nights there just relaxing, drinking coffee, and trying to plan my next move.

I met someone who convinced me to go to an Ashram further south. I was hoping for some inspiration and interesting ideas, and it just fell in my lap. So all my other plans went out the window and I hoped on a train the next morning. It was about 4 hours of yoga each day, vegetarian food, some meditation and other things. It was a great experience and I feel in amazing shape physically and mentally. I stayed an entire week. Tomorrow morning I will get on a 44 hour train ride to Mumbai, which will be hell, the ticket cost me about 10 dollars...couldn't get anything better on short notice.

No pics i've been lazy, later.
