Chennai

After what seemed like an endless journey from the airport we arrived at YWCA @ 5am.,fully intending to get up 2 hours later for breakfast. At mid day we were woken by a knock on the door! Luckily lunch ( Thail) was just being served!
We took a drive round some local sites, but the driver mistook 'Ice House' for ' Light House' and we stumbled across Marine Beach.
Thunderstorm was about to break but the fishermen were untangling their catch from the nets, while the women laid them out neatly on display.
The village is a mix of huts and semi derelict buildings, a remnant from the Tsunami. We wanted to take photos, but somehow held back.
Needless to say the storm broke and we had a free drenching running back to our car!
