Early start – up and out by six – kerfuffle over light breakfast due early (Mr Tutu said last night) but the boys didn’t turn up – no matter – dash off at six without breakfast.
A vista stop and a peepee stop, then the really bumpy road gets us to Chatikona market.
A local helps us to find the right place to spot the women arriving. They are Kondh people – Dongria Kondhs (nose ring middle) and Desia Kondhs. Not unfriendly on the whole, but not too friendly either.
Daisy buys the bangle from the helpful man.
We then explore the market properly for a while – Daisy buys a book on the local arts and crafts.
Back to hotel for wash, disgusting cheese sandwich, beer and check out.
Long bumpy drive back to Jeypore.
Ged needs a nap. Daisy tapes up the massive gap between terrace door on suite floor in the “White House”.
Here we do dine in the semi garden – Jolly dresses in a red kurta korner for our last meal together – Cheten joins us at the table.
Becardi kebab (chicken). Tandoori chicken. Then chicken butter masala, mixed veg, daal fry and rice. Beer. Not too bad – perhaps we should’ve stuck to Indian yesterday
A further 120+ pictures from Orissa (unlabelled) can be seen in an additional album, though the link below:
