And sure enough, there’s a temple in the bay!

It’s quite a place here! I pulled open my drapes in the morning and discovered that our rooms look out over the pool to the ocean and a little inlet where there’s a Hindu Temple. What an incredibly relaxing place, and boy did we relax. For breakfast, I had a couple of small bananas that were in my room. They were the yummiest bananas I’ve ever tasted…definitely bananas, but with a hint of a citrus flavor that was outstanding.

“Nothing” included catching up on my blog, a bit of reading, and watching some television. We have not so many choices for TV, a couple of movie channels (HBO, only with commercials in the movies), a cartoon channel, a couple of religious stations and a station that played old shows like Seinfeld and Friends. But it helped with the nothing-doing.

Dave and I met for dinner and we arranged with our hosts at Newgen to take us into Chennai on Sunday for a bit of shopping. Dinner was a restaurant right on the water called The Wharf. It’s an open-air thatched-roof sort of place that specializes in seafood. Part of their ‘schtick’ is that their kitchen is “interactive”, so you get invited up to the counter separating the cooking area from the dining area and see the operation.

After dinner we were treated to a couple of card tricks by the wait staff. The first went wrong somehow, so the waiter did another. After appropriate oohs from Dave and me, we departed back to our rooms.
