..so we just arrived back to our hotel now, and what a trip, we set off right after breakfast at 8, from Chennai, our favourite Toyota came to pick us up, this time a new driver, we soon left a very loud and noise Chennai, i dont know what was happening today, traffic was worse today that ever before, the chaos was enormous, the noise level beyond anything we have ever experienced previously, it was humid, hot, and after 5 min in the car the AC went on full speed, singing a nice song of breeze directly out of the ventilator - almost whistling at us .. refreshing.. so today is was day of visiting temples - but what seemed to be a quiet day out, turned out to be a loooong day stuck in traffic..
so after visiting the temples (we come back to that in another post) we decided to get back to the hotel, we set out from the last temple at 16.00, with pouring rain hammering on our windows, i doubted an several occasions if our driver could actually see anything out the front window - or if he was simply guessing where we were going.. so all in all in terms of distant, we are talking about no more than 70 KM - which i guess could easily be done in some little over an hour .. however thanks to saturday traffic, stress and frustration levels grew to an all time high for yours truly when after 3 hours we were still not at our hotel, i was tired, grumpy, cold, wet and needed to use the toilet - i could feel sweet crawling on my forehead as time pasted and we werent moving a single meter... this has to be the longest short ride in my whole life - and not one i would recommend to anybody .. 70 KM taking more than 3 full hours ... insane! Now we are finally back in the hotel, and i hope that my boiler is working so i can finally have a hot shower - if you would have told me this before i was leaving to india, i would have laughed at you... but here it comes, believe it or not but .."i am sooo cold"!
