Well we have less than 24 hours left in india. We're pretty glad to be leaving, but sorry that we'll be leaving behind some amazing places and people. We've got some awesome memories though and we're looking forward to sharing them with people when we get home.
Today has been a bit of a time Easter. We had a whole day to kill, and not much to fill it with. We've been watching films and Reading books etc in the room (there's nothing to do in this part of chennai). I watched slumdog millionaire today for the first time. It's scarily accurate to what we've seen, but defs not to that extreme!
The hotel here has been a bit of a let down, the rooms are a bit rubbish, the ac doesn't really work and there is no option of a continental breakfast (and south Indian breakfast is quite honestly the worst idea in the world!). To it's credit, though, it has free airport drop off (which we'll be using at 0400 tomorrow) and wifi.
Some more about mahabalapuram that I didn't want to forget... We went out for a massage when we were there which was extremely relaxing! We were so rediculously oily afterwards though that we had to have showers again before we went back out. Also we went out to eat on one of the nights and alex ordered lobster. He got to pick the one he wanted to eat whilst it was still alive too. I tried some and it was pretty tastey, though I'm still very much not a fan of sea food!
So we're about to go to sleep now for the last time in india. It's about half 9 here though we've got to get up at 0330 tomorrow morn. We checked in this morning online so we know we have seats (though they're not next to each other... Hopefully we can swap!)
So to those in England.. I will be seeing you very soon! Thouch down is at 1420 at heathrow t5.
Ps, the picture is of alex watching lizzie mcguire in the hotel room! The big fairy!
