The story till now

So peeps.... We spent the first couple of days in Chennai (the city where we landed) and ate lots of lovely food (variations on curry) and did lots of shopping. We bought some Sari's which was alot of fun in this huge sari shop we were in there about 2 hours I rekon just getting these poor dudes to pull out sari after sari untill we found what we wanted. Now we will look like proper Indian princesses.

The city got too much and we moved on to a seaside village called Mamallapuram, which was great. It is very Chilled ad quite touristy so was a good place to acclimatize. We nearly got ourselves into a bit of trouble on the first night... We thought we would dress up a bit put on a bit of make up and go for dinner and a few beers. In the restaurant we managed to get the attention of all the waiters, they were siting with us and telling us about their busy day etc. One guy in particular was chatting to us and telling us that he wanted a western girlfriend and he could not get an indian girl because he had no education, blah, blah, blah. I think they thought that we were really drunk and we ended up being the last people to leave and by this time we surrounded by a small crowd of indian guys kind of blocking our way out! We made a sharp exit and legged it back to our hotel having learned a lesson or two and vowing from that moment on to tell all young indian guys that we are married!!

Apart from that Mamallapuram was lovely we stayed ther for five days and didn't really do much at all. Apart from eating great fresh seafood and drinking nice wine in a little french run place that we found. Our hostal there was great, 'Ramakrishna Lodge' for those who might pass through that way in the future, and we were a bit sad to leave.

After that on to Pondichery a town by the sea with a very french feel, and we satyed there for a couple of days whilst trying to find somewhere to stay in Auroville which is packed out at the mo. We ended up staying in a house of this Indian artist Guy Called Manoj, really nice art and quite interesting but we discovered that the mirror on the wall between our room and his was actually one way glass, dirty perv!! We were on to his game and covered it with a throw and masking tape, so no late night perving for him!! Not everyone we have met so far has been a perv, we also met a lovely family in Pondy, their baby was born prematurely while they were on holiday and now they have to stay for three months untill she is big enough to fly. Hopefully they will be joining us for dinner on Fran's birthday.

We are in Auroville now staying in a hut on the beach, and desperatly trying to find a couple of bikes so we can get around. Got to go cos there are other people "long time waiting madame"
