We are staying at the Sri Aurobindo Ashram guesthouse, which is right on the sea front.
The guesthouse has strict rules, no alcohol, smoking, and gates lock at 10.30pm , but that should suit us fine, most nights we've been tucked up in bed by 9.30pm, unless Charlie has found English football on the hotel TVs!
Pondicherry is a weird place! It was a French enclave, so half of the town almost feels as if you are in Europe, and vehicles are not allowed to sound their horns in the same way as everywhere else! It is a moment of respite from the madness that is India! And the cafes have lovely coffee and crepes!
