Rip-off-Rickshaws...

Once we got off the train we took a rip-off-rickshaw to the main bus stand in Chennai. It was huge and in fact in largest bus station in the whole of Asia which isn’t surprising when you see the size of it! Yet somehow the first bus driver we asked was going to Pondicherry so it wasn’t as hard as we thought it would be. The journey was long but comfortable as we managed to get the front seats.

When we arrived in Pondicherry we took another rip-off-rickshaw, and then another until many hours later we found suitable accommodation going outside of town. It was such a mission as all the places were either too expensive or right dives. Finally we found somewhere nice yet rustic on the beach.
