lodgings!

so i collect hotel room photographs, i take them the next morning when we are packing and loading the bikes. always :)
i love photographs of used hotel rooms, they say so much about the people in it...
here is the collection from our ride to auroville.
enjoy!

nashville, socorro, goa


perpetual general stores & lodge, agonda, goa


ratna hotel, honawar, karnataka

we rode from mumbai to kodaikanal for the ultimate frisbee tournament [we won 2, we lost 2!]
and from kodaikanal to auroville where we stayed for 2 months to dabble at this and that... flower pressing and collage-making at shradhanjali, organic farming, cycling, eating yummies...
we had a blast.
and i happened to eat the world's best chocolate ice cream... so!
