Madras

Written by on Wednesday, May 20, 1970

What a terrible day we’ve had, driving around Madras the heat was unbearable sweat teaming out this month is the hottest ! Spent the day trying to sell liquor permits but only sold 8 units out of 42. Lent Baz £30 to change he got 25 rupee to the pound. But to get the good exchange rate we drove up and down up and down cooking in LD. Tempers were on the ragged edge. Cant change our money on the black market to pay for boat fare because we have to show the form from the bank and bank rate is only 18 rupee to the pound, we would save nearly £75 if we could. I’m feeling really low today. Moved into coconut huts at Elliot beach today with 3 young lads to run errands.
