Back in Chennai


After savoring and exploring a few days in the busy Metropolis of Mumbai, we are back in Chennai. Mumbai was a lot of fun! We walked through some of the main streets admiring the colonial arquitecture and made our way through some of the busy bazars. Upon completion of our rainy 10-day Vipassana course, we took a train to Aurangubad seeking some dry weather. We took a day trip to the major sightseeing sights in the area including the Ellora caves temples which include Buddhist, Hindu and Jain monasteries chapels and temples. They all were beautifully carved into the rock. We are back in Pradeep's home town for a couple of days to get some rest and plan the remaining of our trip. Pradeep is happy to be back to a place where he can understand the language. We struggled in Mumbai where Hindi is the main language and somehow manage to make our way through the trains and restaurants. Daniela is also happy to be back in South India where she can get delicious idli and dosa. :)
