Today we left at 6:30am to do some early morning sightseeing before it got too hot to walk around. We went and saw the impressive group of monuments that were sculpted during the 7th and 8th century, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Of these, the Shore Temple stands out for its a marvelous view of the Bay of Bengal's shore. Made of granite, it's actually a twin-temple dedicated both to the Hindu gods, Vishnu and Shiva.
After our quick sightseeing, we got back and went for breakfast at Namaste Cafe again! It was delicious.
We then left the hotel at 10 to go to Pondicherry
