Day 242 : Chennai to Mamallapuram


We arrived in Chennai about 9am and Louse still feeling a bit ropey so, with the help of a friendly lady from the station master’s office, we opted to get a taxi to Mamallapuram.

The hotel (Sri Murugan guesthouse) seems nice enough – rooms are basic but clean. We had some soggy toast at the rooftop restaurant (not so clean – I don’t think we’ll be eating there again) and had a wonder around the town to the beach. There are loads of western tourists here – the town is largely just hotels, restaurants and tourist shops. The main attractions here are the stone carvings which we’re going to look at tomorrow when Loulou is recovered.
