We first visited st Thomas Mount. The apostle Thomas, formerly "Doubting Thomas" had arrived in India on the west coast (Kerala) in AD52. He eventually made his way to the East Coast (Chennai). In AD72 he was speared to death by some priests who had taken offense to the conversions to Christianity. The church's altar was reportedly built on the spot where Thomas died. There are 100 relics kept in the church including reportedly a piece of Thomas' toe bone...
Airport is less than 5km from St Thomas Mount
We spent several hours at a theme park called MGM Dizzee world. The kids loved it and, despite it being school holidays, there were not many queues.
