India day #19

One day left… Tuesday, 13 February 2001 Up at 06:30 as we approached Chennai Central. Sat watching until we arrived at 07:30. Anto T*’s driver met me and we left in the autorickshaw. This time, though, I was a tad bored by the ride, thinking about how I’d get the rest of the gifts I’d [...] [...]
