Yesterday, after an unrestful night because of a mouse in our room eating German cookies, Inka and me went to Mamallapuram (50 km south of Chennai - that doesn't seem far, but with the public buses we needed more than 3 hours one way).
Around noon we arrived there and made our way to the five Rathas: 5 temples cut out of one rock. A guide explained us a little bit, but as we negotiated the price from 100 Rs to 60 Rs, he was not very anxious in his explanations.
Afterwards, we went to an area with more stone carvings, temples and view points.
Finally, around 4 pm we went to a Nepalese Restaurant with a German bakery for lunch which was very delicious. After a short stop by beach, we made it to the Shore temple which is inhabited by a group of squirrels.
Before going home we went to the dance festival where we saw several performances in front of stone carved backdrop.
