T&J Posted September 25, 2006 Author #269 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Good Morning from the port of Madras, India (Chennai). We have actually arrived 2 hours earlier this morning in order for Indian Immigration Officials can board the vessel and the fun and games begin in trying to clear the ship. If you look at the cruise cam currently you can see us being tied along the pier here in Madras, (Chennai). Princess is providing a shuttle for $5.00 each direction into Madras which is only 3.5 miles away from the port. Some of the points of interests here in Madras, (Chennai) are the following; Fort St-George, built in the 17th century, the fortress is home to the State Legislative Assembly and the oldest English church in India. Government Museum, the museum is renowned for its collection of Tamil Nadu Bronzes. San Thome Basilica; San Thome and St-Peter's are the only basilicas built over the tombs of Christ's apostles. Mylapore Temple and Mahabalipuram and Kanchippuram are major ancient villages from teh 7th century. Shopping here in Madras is suppose to be "interesting" and the main shopping area is called Anna Salai where you can find silk, jewellery, handicrafts, textiles, antiques, carpets, spices ad leather products....Javier wants me too look for Bed sheets if you can believe it for the new house.... I am planning on going into Madras, (Chennai) this morning around 9:00am with a couple of Indian crew members here onboard. Once I am back onboardlater this afternoon I am scheduled to get a facial at 5:45pm as we set sail at 6:00pm if everything goes to plan with Indian Immigration to clear the ship. More to follow later this morning from the Pacific Princess. Tony :cool: :eek: :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
