Voyage en Inde ‑ Indian Trip (2006)
We are waiting in Paris CDG airport to board the plane to Colombo.
We are waiting to take off. The weather is quite good.
I'm sitting near the window just behind the left wing : pretty good place :‑)
Here is my uncle.
Now, he is living in Chennai.
I'm watching TV in the plane : we had a beautiful view of the forward cam :‑)
...this is the wing. At this moment, I was drinking a glass of water.
The plane is taxiing to the runway to take‑off.
This is the TV in front of my seat : we can see the flight plan.
We are flying over Austria.
I was drinking a cup of coffee after the lunch and I'm watching a film about the American football.
It was at night. I couldn't sleep then I played with my Game Boy.
We are flying over the Arabian Sea and we're close from India.
We are in the airport of Colombo.
It's five o'clock in the morning.
When we arrived, it was Christmas :‑)
I'm giving a phone call to my grand‑father to inform him that we well arrived in Colombo.
This is our plane.
By the way, it was the same plane that take us from Paris to Colombo.
We passed the checkpoint and we are ready to board the plane.
We just landed in Chennai.
We're living the airport. We're going to the car to go to the hotel.
We had breakfast. I was very tired because of this long journey.
We are waiting for the driver so I'm watching a cricket game on the TV.
I'm sitting in the sofa with my uncle.
The beach of Chennai is the biggest beach in the world ...
... isn't it ?
I make a face because of the wind :‑)
It's a beautiful site !
I wanted to know the temperature of the water. It was quite warm.
My shoes are wet ! I walked in the water by mistake :‑)
I kicked the sand in the direction of my father :‑)
I'm in the bedroom.
I'm playing with my Game Boy.
My uncle is drinking a beer and I'm simulating to drink my father's one :‑)
It's the time of the aperitif. We ate some chips and fishes and we drank coke, beer and juice.
Nearby the elevator, there is a machine to polish the shoes.
I'm joking with my uncle :‑)
We are in the car on the way to the Spencer Plaza.
We're in the Spencer Plaza supermarket. We bought jeans and shirts (a yellow one and a blue one)
We were on the road to go to St‑Georges Fort.
St‑Georges Fort.
I put my head in a cannon :‑)
I'm crossing the road. Don't worry : the cars stopped because of the red light.
I'm posing nearby a bus station.
Here is St‑Thomas church.
This is really a beautiful church, isn't it ?
There was a marriage. We didn't want to disturb, so we stayed near the entry.
Merry Christmas !!! :‑)
My uncle looks like a rabbit with his ears.
It's written ! : this is the museum of the tomb of St‑Thomas.
After visiting the church, we went to the mosquee of the thousand lights.
You can see the Anna memorial behind me.
We are in the Anna square.
... near the Marina beach.
This day, it was windy and sunny.
I stand on a stair to simulate that I'm taller than my uncle :‑)
We returned to Spencer Plaza to buy a TV and a bed for my uncle.
You can see my uncle, Banu, her husband and me.
We are talking and drinking together.
They ate with us in the restaurant of the hotel. Our Indian friends helped us to make the menu. I love Indian's foods.
Foods in India are a little bit spicy but it's so delicious :‑)
When the dinner was finished, we spoke about our family, friends...
We laughed a lot !
We had a very good moment.
You can see behind me the door of the hotel. This day, we were waiting for the car to go to Mahabalipuram.
This is a street with many shops.
We arrived to Mahabalipuram.
You can see a sculpture. It represents an elephant :‑) Very nice !
An other view.
My uncle had a bottle of water in his hands because of the temperature.
The weather was so warm :‑)
We are climbing to reach a lighthouse.
I tryed to lift the rock :‑)
I'm sitting near Shanti and her son. She came in France many monthes ago.
We spoke with her mother and her father‑in‑law.
Shanti has a daughter and a son.
They have Indian names so it's quite difficult to remember :‑)
Her daughter loves her seesaw, and her son is full of energy :‑)
We went to the Shanti's temple. It was really a nice temple.
Shanti described all the gods and their utility for each.
I'm sitting in an 'autoritcho'.( I don't know how to write it :‑) )
I wanted to go back to hotel in an 'autoritcho'. Our friend, Shanti, payed for us (thank you Shanti !).
It was very funny because my driver and an other driver spoke in Tamil while they were driving !
I looked forward because a motorbike passed very quickly !
The driver was surprise to take us to the Green Park Hotel. He didn't dare to enter in the park ; my father had to reassured him and had to persuade him to go in :‑)
We are in the airport of Chennai. We are going back to Paris.
Here is the plane which will take us to Dubaï. It's written in Arabic ;‑)
It's the airport of Dubaï. So many lights ! This city seems to be a very rich place !
Behind me, you can see all the people who made a stop in Dubaï. they are making shopping in the Duty free zone.
I was surprised when I saw that information places are separated for men and women :‑)
You can see a Lamborghini in Duty free !!!
Here, we bought three models of plane : Boeing 777‑300 ; A330‑200 and A340‑500.
I bought six key‑rings : for my sister, brother, grand‑father, uncles and me also :‑)
We bought also magnets.
On the picture behind me, you can see the most famous hotel of the world : The Burj Al Arab.
In the Duty free zone in Dubaï, you can buy cars, Mont‑Blanc pens and other famous marks :‑)
To join the gate, you have to use a moving walkway !
The decoration is beautiful :‑)
We are waiting to board the plane to Paris.
This is the last plane ; in seven hours I'll be at home ! I played Poker with my father on the screen in front of me !
He always won the Jackpot :‑)
I watched 'the Nemo's world' film ! After the lunch, we had very heavy turbulences. Everybody was affraid except my father.
We are back in Paris. Now, I have to go back to school. I have many things to say about my vacation.
What a marvelous trip :‑)
India is beautiful country.
People are very friendly : they are always smiling !
I would like to return in India as soon as possible ; but for now, I have to think about my studies. I hope you enjoyed pictures and comments.
