Shore temple, rathas and another coincidence

Still enjoying it here in Malammapuram and had yet again another bizarre experience last night. I was sitting casually in the roof top cafe, sipping my first beer in about 3 weeks when I heard the couple nearby tell the waiter that they were from Brighton. I looked over and recognised a guy called Jack who I went on a date with in 1998....luckily for Julia, his wife sitting next to him neither of us were interested in the other-I vaguely remember inviting him to a party so he could meet people but neither of us had a very good memory of this.. So India strikes again, throwing up the unexpected...we had a great evening, chatting about Brighton things and I realised how long it had been since I had spent any time with English people. They are here for a few days and we have a loose plan to meet up on Sunday night for some sort of full moon festival that is happening here at the Shore Temple.

Did lots of sight seeing today....lots more ancient stone carvings. It is very, very busy here now and I think I was lucky to have found a room yesterday.
