Bought a second hand bench from an old furniture shop. Sand papered it. And then a fresh coat of paint. Waiting for the paint to dry so that I can place my cacti and succulents on them

A beautiful Heritage hotel run by Mr. Bascarane and his wife. They are one of the nicest people you can come across, ever so friendly and welcoming. The hotel is a "home stay" in their ancestral home. It is two storied and has about 5 rooms in all. Every nook and corner has been tastefully done up with vintage brass articles.utensils, antique furniture, Tanjore Paintings, Vintage calendar art. Its so beautiful and takes you back to a bygone era... The breakfast at this place is awesome and the staff are ever smiling and friendly.Its located in the French Quarter and has great accessibility to the beach and other eating places in the area. A must visit, when you want to stay at Pondicherry.
