Today I spent the day entirely in Puri, and basically without sickness. It was a good day for that reason if nothing else.
The plan was relax and go to the Lord Jagganath temple. Of course had I read the guide book more carefully I would have recognized that non-Hindus are not allowed in the temple. So I rented a bike (with the hardest seat every created - I'm convinced it's made of forged steel and industrial diamonds) and rode down the road along the beach, eventually turning and heading toward the temple. I took the lo
