We went on a tour this week. we were 23 people including some Tamilnadu,Andhra people in addition to malayalees.we started at 4 ‘o clock in the morning and we went to a beach to see the sun rise. we reached there at 6 am and waited for another 30 minutes for the sun to come. That was really a beautiful scene watching from the sea shore.
Then we went to the famous konark sun temple. That was more than a piece of art. It is not a temple and it is not a worship place. A king was on his mission to make it a complete worship place but failed to complete it because of some war. Despite that it is a place to have a look and its more than good than many other completed structures.
Chilka Lake was the next destination. In social studies classes I had studied it is the biggest fresh water lake in India. We had boating there for 3 hours and it was a very nice experience. We saw many dolphins over there and people who drove the boat made some special sound to make it appear. We saw dark and grey dolphins.
In between we reached an island and that was the place where the lake and Bay of Bengal met. We saw the dead remains of some tortoise and lot of living and moving crabs.
After that we came back and had our lunch at 5 pm!!!!.That was a lunch I would like to forget. I had told many people that food is not that bad in Orissa. But I saw the real Orissa there. Fish smell all over and they served all curries with the same spoon!!!!May be because of TCS,we are getting an at least OK food where we live.
Then we went to Puri jagannath temple. It’s really a huge temple and a place worth watching. Nice works all over and beared some resemblance to konark temple except for the fact that it was really huge.
Leather belt, purse, mobile phone and chapels were not allowed inside.
Then we went back and reached our place by 12 am and woke up next day at 11.30 am and it was really a tiring day and slept almost the whole day.
