Our trip to Pondicherry last week
Last week we went to Pondicherry.We actually planned a 2-day stay over the weekend.But A and G got bored on day 1 and we returned .Pondicherry looked apt for either those who want to drink and lie around the beach or for the very spiritual types who'd like to spend time in the Ashram and in Auroville . To our further disappointment Maitri Mandir was also under renovation and we were only allowed to see it from a distance .
I wouldnt have minded spending another day there but since the rest of the gang was not too keen ,gave in . :)
The evening stroll on the beach road was definetly worth remembering,since we stuffed ourselves with all the possible bytes sold by the hawkers there -from roasted peanuts to fruit bowl and pani puri.
Also enjoyed the idlis and dosas fultoo at one "Sabthagiri restaurant" ,which was very close to the bus stand.They served the real khatta sambhar --unlike sweetish sambhars served in most eat outs in bangalore.
If you could spend lots of money and stay on one of the hotels on the Beach Road/Gordon Avenue it';ll surely be worth it.
