Day 16 Mon. Dec. 3

 parents picking up their children after school

Our journey today was a long one.  We left Thanjavur at 8 a.m. and headed northeast toward Mamallapuram, which is a city on the east side of southern India, on the Bay of Bengal, just 35 km south of Chenai.  We didn't arrive at our hotel called, "Fisherman Cove" until 7:15 p.m.  It is a beautiful 5 star hotel on the ocean.  Sue and Rob were assigned an ultra modern room, while Kathy and Milla were given a cabin on the beach.  Instead of touring the famous temple in Mamallapuram tomorrow with the rest of the group, the 4 of us plan on spending the day at the beach.  Stay tuned for those pictures tomorrow but the pictures here are just a few of the photos taken on route today.
