Madras Main Street
Changed £400 at the bank to get bankers cert. by doing that we lost £160 by the black market price. Cooks Travel would not entertain us at all, price per person £37-8-0 and for LD £72-7-0 total for the 7 of us and 2 land rovers 7360 rupee. Not a bad day on the whole, we expect now that any job you try to get done in India is never straightforward. It seems ok at first then crumbles into a multitude of problems. At night time we drank rice wine, very strong too, and smoked hash. Each day we think we’ll get everything sorted out and each day goes into another. Fares paid now, be glad to sail.
