Chennai, India
Got in at 11am, found no atm at the airport terminal, walked around with all my gear, found one, organised a pre-paid taxi, which now just thinking about it just sounds plain dodgey but after days of epic adventures through airports it didn't click. Eventually found the hotel, after having discovering the indian driving style, complete improvisation, the hotel was full, found another less accommodating one just down the road. Slept, and that brings me to now.
They say Chennai is one of the lest touristy regions. Seeing it last night in the dark gave be a bit of a cultral shock. Jumping in the back of a taxi with a couple of guys I didn't know from a bar of soap, and driving down seemingly random streets, in a very poor region, in the dark for 30 min, with no map or geographical idea about if we were heading in the correct direction also put me on the edge of my seat.
Just got an email from Ellie, she is keen to meet up and do this thing together asap. Me too, which is good because I'm flying up to Delhi today to meet her. Only 7 more hours! Whoop whoop!!
Promise more up beat reports soon, just reporting it as I find it. No sugar coating though. :)
Hope your all having fun out there, keep me attune to your adventures too!
