Top landmarks in Mahabalipuram

'To the left of the temple, not to its right! We didn’t find it the first time around and were wondering where the boats were, but close to sunset, we took the alley dotted with colourful shops and – with a relaxing soundtrack to guide us – reached the sands and found the bluish boats. We were immediately in love with the place and its vibe, rented a body board and a surf board and were off to enjoy my first surf lesson.' #waterlust
