Pondicherry

Last week I got to see Pondicherry and southern India for the first time. As Varanasi is the only place I've seen so far I couldn't believe how different everything is in the south! Pondicherry is an incredibly beautiful place, in fact so beautiful that I didn't manage to get much photos! I think it needs to be seen to be believed. And the ocean! The ocean is there! For someone who has lived by the sea most of their life, being without it for a long time is almost painful, so it was like magic seeing this great mass of water. It felt sort of awesome that it was actually the Bay of Bengal, something I've seen on maps but now I've actually seen it in real life!
