hey pondy badboy, thanks a lot for the info. are you in pondy next week ? could do with a lot of useful local advice. my number is in your PM. Thanks

Thanks rj, but didn't go there. Will do next time.

We found a perfect stay option in St. James Court Beach Resort, thanks to your advice. A travelogue is in order, i feel.

just an update. Its damn hot and humid @ Pondy

Be careful of the road frm Krishnagiri to Mathur . They have really bad potholes when pops up now and then making you very alert. Can be dangerous to bikers and cars.

Xtra Premium costs only 43.05/lt !!!
