That's one reason I never replied! ;) Thanks for asking though. Each has its own charm and I have loved watching out from the window of my train as much as I have loved listening to the lapping of the waters while travelling in a boat. And buses always remind me of the south, they have one of the best running state transport bus network in their states!Artihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606566484548310912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127779950595554873.post-84980428700134975382014-04-30T20:27:07.361+05:302014-04-30T20:27:07.361+05:30That is so true, Smitha.

Travelling by train like this looks exhilarating but not for the faint hearted.<br /><br />Giving my mobility problems getting around can become a major issue and because of this we often opt to use cabs. Fantastic when we travelled in Turkey we hired a cab for the duration and the driver was tremendous. Taking us to some wonderful places not commonly visited by tourists, he knew all of the places to eat and where the best photo opportunities were to be had, he made our holiday extra special.Felicity Grace Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852843882007267665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127779950595554873.post-72318136754213344242014-04-29T17:56:58.974+05:302014-04-29T17:56:58.974+05:30I have never been to India, but it reminds me a lo...I have never been to India, but it reminds me a lot of Sri Lanka.
