Still in Chennai waiting for daddy to give the officials a piece of his mind so we can get Wilma and Larry

We are now staying with Darani and her family in Chennai after meeting them the day after we landed.

We were previously staying in some sort of nunnery in the centre of Chennai. It was all very olde worlde and the whole building and atmosphere was like a page from 'A Passage to India'; there was a lift with two shuttered doors and porters and everything.

. The whole family has taken us on various trips in and around Chennai including a trip to some caves and a bird park where daddy lamented our lack of a bird watchers book yet again

Hoping to get the car today but we feel it unlikely.

Seeing as we won't be getting Wilma and Larry today we have decided to go have daddy's new beard shaved. Daddy only has a beard because he has left his £200 shaver in Singapore and won't let anyone but a barber shave him.

As we did not buy any of the expensive Lonely Planet guides for the countries on our journey back we visited a good book shop in the city and bought a road atlas of India for 50p.

Also saw Transporter 3 in a packed cinema a couple of nights ago especially for daddy. Is now a firm favourite of his.

Crikey not easy leaving a comment for u guys - word verification, find your login and password, get the casing right and then provide the answer to the holy grail. Whats the prob with the car then? Corruption stuff? Our visit to our aunt and uncle could have gone better. Didnt know that he was on a limited usage net account and i ran up hundreds of dollars downloading films over night for the kids!!!
