I’ll start with a corrigendum for the last blog. Trip to Munnar is not the best trip ever so far. My recent escapade to Kodaikannal with my partners in crime is THE BEST trip so far. We all, sans Zaheer who had one of his MBA exams on the weekends, started on July 3rd from Chennai Egmore station. Unlike last time, we all had our tickets booked, even for the late comer Vijaykumar albeit in a different compartment. The train journey was incident free, which is a first for us!
We reached kodaikannal high road station around 6:30 in the morning, 1 hr late than the normal arrival time. Then we spent lot of time contemplating the best service to reach kodai town. After a small breakfast, we decided the best and economic way was to travel by bus, which we did on 8:45 A.M. Till we reached Kodai town around 12 PM, I don’t remember much. One thing I forgot to mention; this is one of the best ever planned trip we were on. Train tickets, room booking, cab booking etc were all planned in advance. And for the first time, everything was spot on like clockwork. After getting to the rooms and a quickly refreshing, we went on to local site seeing. IMO kodaikannal is much better than Ooty. Some of the places we visited were Guna caves system, pine forest, some lake and so many other places. We came back, had a hearty dinner and then some tv and then sleep.
The second day had a lot in store for us. Amazing day and amazing time! 
We rounded the day off with a nice cycle ride around the lake. Cycling after ages!!! Brought back our school memories. None of our trips seem to end without a customary trek, and so there we were on the third day. A very long arduous and hot trek on perumal hills system, the highest hill system in Kodaikannal. Unlike last time, we packed lotta fruits, a LOT of fruits and climbed and climbed and climbed and …climbed. Around 2 PM when we were all feeling pinch in our stomachs, we decided to climb down. 
We reached the foot around 3:30 PM and found some place to have lunch around 4 PM. We rested a while in our room, and by 8:00 PM, we started to Kodaikannal hight road station. After having dinner at the same place where we had our first meal of the trip, we all boarded the train back to Chennai. This is pretty much a dumbed down version of many things we did during the trip. Actually only this much is left after all the censors. Rest everything is *bleep*, *bleep* and more *bleep*!
