Tiruvannamalai and Mysore




So we continued our trip on this weekend to a beautiful town with an impressive temple: Tiruvannamalai. It is where the people worship Shiva. There is a huge mountain which dominates this town. We walked up it for 3 hours and the view really was amazing.
We sweated so much when going up, and we didn't have enough drinking water, that the guide made us drink moutain water which was supposed to be holy and cure whatever sickness one has.
the day after we vistited the temple which was really extraordinary. There was an elephant in there and I got blessed by it again.
Then the day after we left for Mysore. Where the people light up the main palace at night which was really impressive. We also bought our way into a under reconstruction 5 star hotel. We just gave the two guards 3 francs. From this hotel one could see the whole town below which was quite nice.
