    MY TRIP TO SOUTH INDIA
    I have just returned from a trip to South India. A lot of new experiences, new friends and lots of wonderful places. I will be updating my India pages all through this week.
    Now I only have my Travel Diary on-line. It's in spanish, but I have translated the text in english. So you can enjoy some watercolor drawings and follw my steps day by day.

    To take the train is almost less adventurous than taking the airplane!!! The scenary is great and green.
    See below more details for the transportation.
    Here we are in transit from Poona to Mumbai, just before climbing down the plateau to the coast.

    Trekking on the plateau West of Mumbai.
    While travelling in train, I had long conversations with other passengers sitting between the train cars enjoying the view. There is a lot of little villages around with very few roads to commute between them. Hiking/trekking is very popular in that region.
