Mammallapuram

We spent most of our free weekends at the seaside town of Mammallapuram, famous for its old temples and the stonesmits which carve from small decoration objects to complete temples for export. We slept at the resort called Seabreeze which has the view to the 1000 year old temple, the best Indian restaurant in town and a nice swimmingpool..
