Captain’s Log: Saturday, 16 September 2017<\/span><\/p>\n

Distance: Chennai – Mahabalipuram<\/p>\n

We were only able to sleep like 3 or 4 hours, before we had to get up again. After breakfast, we left the Hotel for a Sightseeing Tour though the city in the bus. I do not know if it is fascinating or scary seeing how all these people manage to drive around, as it seems completely without any rules. <\/p>\n

Our first stop was at the Fort St. George, which was not that impressive as it sounds. But it had a little museum, in which we were not allowed to take pictures. Afterwards we moved on to a church with a shrine, where the skeleton of St. Thomas were, one of the J\u00fcnger of Jesus. There was a Messe going on, and it was kind of strange. I mean, I am in a completelt different country, with completely different people, language and culture, but still the Messe was almost the same as in Austria. Judging from the few I have ever visited.<\/p>\n

The count for the name of the travel frog seems to be at 2 for Sammakko, one for Groda and one for Chupa. I am still going to wait a bit with naming it.<\/p>\n

The next stop was a Temple of Shiwa, one of the Gods of the Hinduism, I think. We were not allowed to take pictures there as well unfortunately, but we had a coconut to drink afterwards.<\/p>\n

(I know, I only post pictures with my frog now, but look at it!!)<\/p>\n

We then drove a bit further south to our next accommodation, some sort of resort right at the beach.<\/p>\n

And the view into the park from our balcony is really nice as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We had a bit of time then until we had dinner, so I sat down outside, when I suddenly saw some monkeys running around.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They even had baby monkeys with them. I think they tried to steal something from a terrace from one room downstairs, but they went away empty handed.<\/p>\n

In the evening we had dinner with all the others of our travel group, 16 all together. Most of the food was vegetarian, so I would not have to worry about that, even though the rhings, we could get from the buffet, were quite spicy. But it was good nevertheless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
