NO SHOES ALLOWED




Deciding we needed a bit of Indian culture we headed off to this Hindu Temple in Mylapore, Chennai. We had seen it many times but had never gone in to have a look.
And now I know why..

It was shoes off.
AH SCREAM.
In India, in a public place no way! But that was the only way we were getting in.
So the shoes came off, and naturally it cost a few Rupee to have them stored for us while in the temple.
The kids where not happy and wanted to stay in the car with Victor, but it was about time they got up close and personal with India and it's finest.

It was a really hot day so we didn't last long. Especially after Sam stepped in Poo, probably left by these two calf's hiding under the cart (above). Taking photo's was frowned upon and I got told off a few times. Pity I can't read Hindi so I'd know not to take them. Our trip to the temple was not a good one, Mac was in his typical "I hate India mood" and the other two kids didn't appreciate the culture or the poo.

First you have me in tears, then I read the next blog and can't help but giggle. Charlie thought the pooh was hilarious.
