Puri (Orissa) - February 14th, 2007

Many people make a stop in Puri, the tourists for the ocean and the Hindus to visit the Jagannath Mandir temple, since non-HIndus are not allowed to visit it.
In the 1970's many hippies were here in their way to South East Asia, but now is just to relax for a few days.
I met Tony, an Indian fisherman at the train station so we had diner this evening. He insisted that I have to visit his town 2 hours south by the sea, a lot more peaceful and better beaches.
