It was like back in the college days again:P How we messed up the rooms! No plastic bags are allowed in all hill resort and eco-designated areas in Tamil Nadu state. Everything invcluding tasty greasy food is wrapped in layers of newspaper which is recycled. We preferred street food to the clinically prepared hotel fare.lolz

After passing through the city of Salem, driving on TN state road 165 connecting to NH45(North) to Chennai. Clear, crisp weather conditions so far!.

Driving on NH-45(North) to Chennai. Ominous clouds in the foreground got me worried a bit.

nickatnite (nickatnite) 2010-09-20 18:36:30 +0500 #167

More clouds forming as we drove on NH-45.

Sure enough, drove straight into a cloudburst which delayed us a while.

Driving on NH-45(North) to Chennai, approx. 150km from our destination.

Driving on NH-45(North) nearing the outskirts of Chennai

nickatnite (nickatnite) 2010-09-20 19:01:59 +0500 #172

Driving on NH-45(North) late evening approx. 50kmfrom Chennai after which we were met with heavy downpours into the night which made for messy driving conditions.

@nickatnite

Finally after a lot of crawling , water in sight!

LoL!!

That climb didnt look much fun rather you than me hehe.

At some point, sooner rather than later, I hope to visit India and will take some time off to travel around and meet up with friends etc. You must also think of a trip down here, half of India is anyways here for the Airtel T20

You're most welcome and glad you like the pics.

re: climb back from the waterfall, gimme a shot of rum and a warm room instead. I hope you visit India before next July and SA is def on my list and God willing,i shall. Casablanca and the pyramids too and that's why i'm appealing to the maker to make these trips possible.
