Mahabalipuram

We now have only got 3 hours left in indian paradise. Mahabalipuram is literally amazing; the sand is sandy, the water is really wet and the sun is hot!

 

We've been staying in a lovely hotel. It's got air conditioning, a nice pool and a fridge in the room. Perfect for beer o'clock! I cant get any pictures of the hotel or the place its self up on the internet at the moment cos im just in an internet cafe, but i will when i get home.

 

When we got here, we met the french girls that we had met in madurai (500 km away). So we've been walking around, seeing the sights with them. There is a temple right on the seafront, and a load of statues that have been excavated from the sand. Other than that its pretty serene (by indian standards) the only noise is all the shop sellers telling you that they will give you 'good friend price', and that 'looking is free'. Helpful really!

 

So this afternoon we are heading to Chennai for our last stop before london. We will be there for just over a day, which could possibly drag quite a lot as there's nothing really to do. We will hopefully be meeting up with john (from CFH) at some point, maybe for dinner. That would be awesome, to have a farewell from an Indian friend that we've made!

 

London in t- 53hours! exciting!
