Chennai

We arrived this morning, exceptionally tired and overwhelmed by some of the sights, smells and sounds of this bustling city. I asked some of the students to pick some words that describe their first encounter with Chennai. So far they've said hot, moist, loud and smelly. We have just returned to the YWCA after a trip into the city for a dosa and to exchange some money. Overall the food went down a storm, Sam Brookes polishing off two helpings. Even the most timid amongst us gave it a try.

Tomorrow we will be picked up by Raja and make our way to Amala. Hopefully getting some time in mamallapuram, a scenic town that specialises in stone sculptures. Here's hoping that we get some well earned rest tonight. We'll be in touch soon.
