Chennai, March 15 & 16

Michel and myself went to Chennai. The alarm was earlier than the Sunday as we were to leave the hotel at 6 am now. We got into the Chennai Taj Connemara hotel by 10 am, worked until 1.30, had lunch and went on to a 4 hour tour through the city. We saw some of the hotspots so to say. The evening we worked during dinner again, and early the morning up to 11.30 as well, before we could allow ourselves to enjoy the tour to the Mamallapuram Temple complex about 2 hours drive outside the city. It was a beautiful complex, and we we spent almost 3 hours getting over the entire ground and climbing on the "rocks"to get to the top of most of them. A quick selection of photos can be found in the Chennai album.

Magnificent views, and then my camera decided to quit due to high humidity and salt I am afraid. I just could not motivate itself to allow me taking more pics, so have to revitalise and clean the camera ... all dust and heat is no good to things here in India. I already have two broken necklesses, a zipper of a pant that no longer works, you name it and it has stopped funtioning by now. Michels razor also suffers from the same problem, so he had to ask the hotel to get him a new one as we are so busy in getting as far as possible to finishing our deliverables.
