Kodaicanal

so the week prior to Good friday we got bonus chuttis.. we had an off on wednesday (tamil new year) and thursday (elections) and yet we didnt plan a trip blame it on laziness or lethargy. not sure...the holidays were sudden and we didnt plan anything... spent time on the beach and thats about it!!

And then came the Godd friday weekend which we didnt want to waste.. So we packed our bags and boarded the bus to madurai.. the bus started from koyembedu and we waited for a long long time when someone called and said we were waiting at the wrong place..then we figured out where we had to go and boarded the bus which played three tamoil movies all night... We reached madurai early morning and boarded a local bus for kodaicanal which was so damn slow..we thought we would never reach but we did.. and we went to our lodge which was a quaint little place but baap re there was so much climbing to do.. our room was part of a family room... we took a bath and then walked upto the lake.. we then ate a wonderful indian lunch and took a round of the lake gorging on gudiya ka baal, chai, home made chocolate nad bhutta..
We were carrying umbrellas because it had been raining.. suddenly i saw a man brush his hand in an attempt to touch neha.. both of us beat him up with an umbrella. Neha even used the F word.. I am sure that man will never touch a woman again..
We then laughed about it.. thank god, we vented it out elser we would have felt very bad. Taking a round around the lake in tha rain was nice.. we ate plums and suddenly there would be mist like raaz and then rain... We even saw kodai international school and sat near its football ground..We went for the famous coakers walk but it became misty so we headed backlater, we went for dinner at the tibetan place and found a bakery of our choice.

Next day, it was a sunny morning we vacated our room, kept our luggage at the bakery and went towards bear shola falls ..it was a promising walk..however, the falls were non existent.. Then we headed to the town and went to a famous bakery where we had some wonderful bread and pastry.. We then decided to walk to pillar rocks which were 6.5 kms away.. We walked in the rain and we walked but i think we had just walked 2.5 kms and then headed back.. it was raining too much.. we had lunch at the pot luck cafe and then went to buy bus tickets after collecting our luggage...
We headed back to madurai, reached at about 8 and then went to CCD to use the washroom and wash our feet.. later we took a round of the meenakshi temple and went to the bus stop.. our bus came at 11.15.. it was the most comfortable bus ride.. we slept till we reached chennai :)
