On our way home we stopped at a hotel/restaurant (minus the hotel)....we think the hut in the back may have been the sleeping quarters; certainly not the Hilton. The food was delicious and the flies would agree with us.

Gingee Fort
On Saturday Domenic spent the day with some friends and we ventured to the village of Gingee, about 2.5 hours south east of Chennai. Here we visited a 13th century military fort which was under operation up until the 19th century. The fort was strategically built atop a mountain and surrounded by large boulder fields below. The ascent took 2 hours in the sweltering mid-day heat, super planning on our part! Along the way we encountered beautiful scenic vistas along with numerous resident monkeys who were leery of trespassing tourists. The trek was long and hot but well worth the physical effort.
