ISTQB exam and Mahabalipuram trip

Yesterday, I wrote my ISTQB exam, the questions were twisted and I don't find enough time . But still I manage to complete the exam.

The venue, I wrote the exam at Meenakshi college. I hope to score around 80 marks.

After the Exam, Myself and venkat traveled to Mahabalipuram by volvo bus. Trip wasn't nice, I was made to wait for 3 hours after ordering for egg noddles in a restaurant. Every one (10 members including Senthil, Myself and venkat) feel very hungry. We missed out some of the sight seeing places like Light house, Sea shore Temple, Five Rathas because we were late. The closing time of these places were 4.00 P.M. But we were able to saw some of the caves. Totally, the trip is a utter waste except some of the photos of me came good.
