My last train trip in India is finally over! It was supposed to be a 39 hour trip, except one train was two hours late and one was SIX hours late. So I spent ALL the first train trip stressing that I was going to miss my second train, only to spend five hours camping on the platform anyway.
So now I'm in Chennai. Looks much the same as the last four times I was here. Has it been that much? Oh dear. After Varanasi it looks very clean, very well organised, terribly middle class. I'm checking out the shopping malls.
I just thought I should have some sickly Indian sweets, one last time. So I tried one called 'poo'. Just because I can. :) It looks a bit like an open lotus flower, red and green with edible silver on the outside. It probably won't come as a surprise that it was sickly sweet. A bit like highly coloured fudge.
Well, last day today. Just time for a bit more shopping ...
