Chennnnai

Less than 24 hours in Chennai but very eventful...the highlights so far:

- Pleasingly temperate climate

- Nice & comfy welcome at Ron's apartment (except for err...well people should learn to knock..he he right ron?)

- Murugan's Idli Shop! The most incredible, Idli, Vada, Dosa on the planet! I need a picture of that place.

- Zara's - Spanish Tapas bar with psuedo tapas but close enough. Decent Sangria though a little weak..too much juice too little sangria!

- Irony: Thambi (if you're listening somewhere in the cosmos), after 1 year of procrastination, "Sien Sien" & "India Paradise" I finally went to a tapas bar...and of all the places to do it in..Chennai! ha ha ha! :-) Deliciously funny that...

- Crazy motorbike ride along Marina Beach at 12 AM with Ron...correction a Ron in high spirits...Marina Beach is nice, especially at midnight.Couldn't find a telephone booth open to call Rotterdam...which was a bit disappointing

- Got home safely only to be woken up at 6:30 AM because Ron's apartment was flooded! yahaha! Someone had left a tap on in the kitchen which went on to flood the whole place...spent an hour mopping up this morning.

Wonder how the next 24 will pan out...
