After returning home we still had a few days until we would began teaching. Not wanting to waste a single day Rose and i took a day trip to Chennai. This is me on a fishing boat on Marina beach - the second longest beach in the world! The waves we huge! like anywhere else in India women cannot show any skin so we jumped the waves fully clothed and got soaked! Didnt take long to dry in the intense heat though!

This is a fairground ride that appeared to be run by children for children. A little different from a waltzers at Skegness
Got caught in a monsoon on another day trip to a neighboring village Avadi! The kind owner of this fruit stall allowed us to take shelter until it slowed down and we could wade to the train station.
Another aspect of India that is impossible to ignore: the poverty. Here are some slums located literally next door to the gigantic air conditioned multi-storey Mall in Chennai
