After a nice drive up the coast (although Joy still does not enjoy Indian driving. Something about 2 buses hurtling at you in a 2 lane road to be avoided at the last minute seems to upset her?) we are in Chennai for the night. The hotel we picked from "Cleartrips", a useful booking mechanism particularly for Indian trains, is well located although they seemed unhappy that we had booked already. They also don't provide internet and charge for wifi that doesn't work well at all. Madras is also impressing us with it's rat population as we have already seen a few.
We are booked on a train tomorrow morning and as seems the case every time, I am confirmed and Joy is number one on the wait list. Somehow this gets resolved at the last minute and I haven't had to leave her anywhere ..............yet! We arrive at Puri in the morning of the 23rd and stay on the beach for four days before flying to Delhi to finish our travels in Rajastan and the hill country. We are running short of time as we have been in India for a month today and are planning to be back in Mumbai in another month.
