Rain. Lots of it. - Blogabond

Ugh, Sod's law. Arrive in Mamallapuram to the best accommodation of the trip, complete with swimming pool and a beach, only for it to be like an April day in England. It's been raining for about 5 hours now. Nice little town though, with a noticeable and welcome absence of horns being blared. It's a world heritage site due to the presence of an intricately carved Stone temple dating from the 700s. Well, it was intricately carved but 1300 years of weathering and the 2004 tsunami have turned it into more of an amorphous Stone blob, but it's nonetheless impressive. Though the fact that I found the clean, 20m hotel pool more impressive either means I'm a cultural heathen or am in severe need of some exercise/peace! Or possibly both.

Anyway, starting to turn my thoughts to China now, where I will find myself deposited in less than 48 hours. Goodbye curry, hello sweet and sour dachshund.
