Trip End
Mar 04, 2006
Well here I am in the hotpot they call Chennai or as it used to be more suitably named Madras........................ heck it's hot and oh my word I have nearly died about 5 billion times in the last 24 hours...........
Wayne - you and I both know I actually died twice...........but you know how you and I HATE to exaggerate!!!!!!
I have about 10 hours until I fly...........I can't believe it's all gone so quickly!!!!
Basically about 2 days ago I wrote this brilliant...........and yes I mean absolutely BRILLIANT entry and then I lost it............I mean I can't even blame the power going ............I mean the computer just turned itself off?????????? I'm sure I'm supposed to be able to use these things better than I actually can!!!!!!!!!
Well to summarise...................went swimming with dolphins........but due to language barrier I some how was not allowed in the water to ACTUALLY swim with them??????????? but there were plenty of them all up around the fisherman boat so got to stroke them at least!!!!!!!!!! Was sick as dog over birthday...........yep puked my guts up for about 2 days solid..............diagnosed myself with dysentry..........ONLY JOKING MUM!!! ............went to a man in a hut who seemed to sell only bog roll and trusty ADOMOS (insect repellant for those not in the know!!!) and he also seemed to sell antibiotics?????????? oh and PLENTY OF VALIUM?????? but you'll all be pleased to know I steered clear of the valium and popped a few Cipro and was soonish right as rain!!!!!!!
Arrived back in Chennai last night after stopping over in Bangalore for a few hours........... and I'm telling you no joke evryone here is crazy drivers...............at least they all get my humour.............?????? You see before I get in ANY moving vehicle I tell them that if they drive crazily I'll scream and get out.............and if they kill me my Parents will sue them!!!!!!!!! The rickshaw driver who had the happy task of driving me to a hotel last night thought I was hilarious.........he kept telling me it was ok he was a good driver he STILL had his driving licence!!!!!!! and there was me assuming you NEEDED that!!!!!!!!!!!! As we were driving aroungd the equivalent of the M25 ..............I KID YOU NOT............he kept turning around and telling we he was really worried for Diana??????????? Now I can ONLY assume he meant Princess Diana...........Right????????? as I feared for my general safety including the possible scenario of losing my limbs I didn't have the nerve to tell him she's been dead for a while............and he really could stop worrying!!!!!!!
Tried to be cultured today.............well ok the reality is it was bl**dy humid and the only place I could find with A/C was the cinema...........and as I would have had to wait 3 hours to see Chronicles of Narnia...........I got to see a Hindi Film................now the guy at the desk told me there were English subtitles..............what the reality was it was in Hindi witht eh odd word spoken in English!!!!!!! I lasted 45 minutes and then left at the "INTERVAL"????? I managed to ascertain it was about swinging and that the audience found it hilarious but I was starving so unfortunatly yes I have to admit I left.....................
Anyway, am flying home in 10 hours which is crazy it's all gone so fast!!!!!!! So I guess all there is left to say is I'LL SEE YOU SOON!!!!!!!!!
Oh and in case anyone was wondering no birthday celebrations tomorrow as am knackered......................will be in touch..............
Lots of love
