I have spent a glorious Sunday in Chennai, my first day off since the beginning of this trip. Since lists are apparently easier to read, here's what I did:
1. A late and long breakfast with masses of natural yogurt set in little clay pots. This reminds me of Nepal and Dwarikas hotel from previous post.
2. I hired a white ambassador taxi for the whole day to take me shopping and drive me around. The driver stopped by the side of the road and bought the fragrant flowers on a string so the whole car was cool and fragrant. Nice!
3. I promised someone a silver bracelet so I went to Chennai's Spencer's Plaza, which i visited on my last trip and bought 2 bracelets and..... A Magic Wand. Yes, a magic wand made of crystals and different stones to cleanse my chakras with. The guy who sold me the wand accepted the price i suggested, without argument, he said the wand was mine as soon as I looked at it. I think I made a special mystical connection with the seller of the said wand and we discovered we were numerological 11s (and 11s are special!) I love spiritual India! Anyway I'll post photos of my magical wand later. :-)
4. I also stocked up on my John Abraham bolywood stock and I think I now have his entire collection... I also bought many more bolywood classics, so if anyone wants to borrow some, let me know.
5. Lunch was at Amethyst which is an old villa converted to a cafe, surrounded by lush gardens. This is where I spotted a chameleon lizard in a bush, again, photos coming.
6. I then made myself look like an Indian with a few kameez dresses. Photos maybe coming... ;-)
7. A pedicure and a (very mild) foot massage by the poolside and then a mango lassi before the giant mosquitoes threatened to eat me alive.
And now I'm off to enjoy John Abraham in peace before work starts again tomorrow. An evening with JA is again a spiritual experience! ;-)
Good night lovely friends, I might come back. :-)
