Hello everyone, Well, here I am back in India. Me and my friends Sadie and Russell flew out on Tuesday, arrived 1am (Indian time) Wednesday morning. So, we're still a bit tired from the flight - jetlag!!!!! Am in Chennai at the moment. Have booked tickets to the Andaman Islands (Indian islands off the coast of Burma), so should be there for Xmas and New Year. The boat leaves Chennai next Tuesday (13th December 2005) and arrives at Port Blair in the Andamans on Saturday (17th December). Chennai is ok, typical Indian city, but pretty clean. Our hotel, Paradise Guesthouse, is clean and pretty quiet. We got told off by some other guests for making so much noise the night we arrived, luckily they were leaving the next day. So, just killing time here over the next four days. Probably get off to the infamous "Spencer Plaza", one of the few western-style shopping centres in India. Not sure what else we'll get up to, there's not many bars, so drinking is out - which is probably just as well considering the state I got myself into last time. Hope all is well with you all. Take care Kate x
