Day 79 (Sun 24 Sep) - Chennai

Had a good night sleep and was woken up by someone knocking on our door at 8.30am. After struggling to wake up, Sarb opened the door to be greeted with a train chappie with our breakfast.

The air conditioning in our compartment had gone into overdrive during the night. It was freezing.

We spent the day reading and trying to keep warm, huddled under blankets. It was a trifle strange that when we left the cabin to go to the toilet we were hit by the outside temperature, 30 degrees plus.

Found the only problem with 1A class is that the windows aren't very big so you can't really see out of the window, anyway the day went quite quickly. Before we knew it was 7.30pm and we arrived in Chennai.

We took an auto rickshaw across the busy city to the district of Triplicane and the Hotel Comfort.

We checked in and went straight up to the roof top restaurant for dinner before heading off to bed.
