Sorry for the lack of input over the last few days but things have been hectic and no computer in Chennai! Train journey up went well, and arrived 20 mins early, unheard of! here's a pic of our sleeping accommodation which was shared with, luckily 2 nice Indian ladies. Beds fold down during the night and up during the day and we are in a curtained of compartment with fan and A/C.
Maggie kindly volunteered to take the upstairs bunk!
Briefly, Friday was spent travelling to Mahabalapuram where the stone carvings in limestone and granite are phenomenal, we visited, had our fortunes told by a parrot who obviously has a high opinion of me... can you get bird flu form kissing a parrot?
More tomorrow after Maggie has left... Bye bye Maggie it was great having you here to support me and work with! How am I going to explain your absence to my children at school?
Lovely pictures: three lovely birds. Say Goodbye to Maggie for me if she is still with you.
Have contacted St Colm's for Carrie: and they have responded to Carrie and me with a lovely welcome, suggesting that she might stay there a few days when she visits, and promising to research names of sponsors when the college was built as they no longer knew the one Carrie mentioned.
Bye
Mike
