the southern tip of india...we have arrived

a big adventure today. we journeyed to the tip of india, kanyakumari. we piled in a taxi and headed south for a couple of hours.  we got in  line for a ferry that the taxi man dropped us off at and went out and saw the poet statue and the temple island, not really what we were out after, but was a fun little boat ride.
 but then we headed to the little beach that is considered the actually tip.  the amount of people was insane.  our driver said this was possibly because of the temple festival, but he could not even drive close, so we ended up having to walk a bit.  but finally we arrived.  an there it was, where three oceans meet.  looking left to the east was the Bay of Bengal, looking south straight ahead, the Indian Ocean, and  to the west,  the Arabian Sea, and of course a lot of people.
we did manage to get a family shot with out too many people walking through the shot.  funny enough, most of the shots had so many other people you could hardly see us!
 zoe and i climbed up on the little spit that went out into the seas, and she loved standing in the wind, getting splashed by the waves.  what a place to see.

Härliga upplevelser på Indiens sydspets, trots all trängsel med alla Indierna på deras tempelfestival, med marknad o allt
