Today we were rudely awoken early again but still managed to get a decent nights sleep. We spent a lazy morning getting ready before heading out to JoJo's for breakfast around 11.00am. We had an amazing concoction of toast toped with sliced banana and drizzled with honey and cinnamon and a smoothie of banana, mango, coconut, toasted muesli, yoghurt and milk. Absolutely divine and definately something we are going to try (?!) and re-create at home. After this we ...

Woken up early this morning by the comotion caused by crazy people in the hotel who get up at stupid-o-clock! We managed to sleep through a bit of it and finally gave in at about 7.45am. After showering and doing some washing, we left the hotel at about 10.30am and headed south of The Maiden. We took photo oportunities at the ex-Grand Hotel, which is now a bank and at the Planetarium, which was closed. We the moved onto St Paul's Cathedral, a gorgeous grand...

We made sure we were up and at 'em bright and early to ensure that we were all sorted and checked out of our room and also gave enough time to negotiate the Chennai traffic oen route to the station.

It only took us 3-4 minutes to get to the station! No matter, we much preferred bei...

This morning began with Laura's turn for Delhi belly! After another lazy morning we headed straight for the internet cafe. After about an hours surfing Sarah heard a call from Laura for some juice - she was feeling a bit faint! After puting her head inbetween her knees she thought it best to return to the hotel, but before she had said it Sarah caught her as she fell to the floor. She came to with a crowd of Indian men staring down at her and took 5 minutes r...

We had a long overdue lie-in and the laziest morning ever! After taking our time getting showered and sorted (good job we weren't in a rush because Sarah's poorliness had still left her lathargic) we headed for the cheap internet place to get upto date with pics, emails and general surfing! We eventually set off on foot to explore the wonder that is Chennai, by about 2.00pm. We headed towards Marina Beach, passing the University of Madras and the Triumph of ...
