Photos are nice. This is one of my favorite holiday destination. I make it a point to visit atleast once in three years. My last visit was for new year on 01.01.2007. At that time the roads were very bad and I am having a second thought whether I should visit the place again.

Photo of Charring Cross Fountain re-kindled my memories of staying just there for a few weeks in 1966, when I was employed in Hindusthan Photo Films Limited. Thanks for sharing. Vyasamoorthy
