India

We were in India for 5 days last week and I think those were the hottest 5
days of my life. The air was so thick that it was difficult to breathe. This
doesn't help the strange spicy garbage smell that wafted over the country. I
didn't get to see too much of India this time around but I could definitely
smell it. I did get off in New Mangalore and it was pretty cool. The streets
were really busy with motorcycles and tuk tuks and huge buses and everyone just drives kind of wherever there's space. No need to stay one behind the other. This was scary to witness from the bus but even worse from the rickshaw. The food I had was good but it was SO SPICY. Even the veggie burger I ate made me start to sweat.  Unfortunately I wasn't able to see Cochin or Mumbai this time but we will be back in India in January and then again in April on the last cruise home.
