On saturday evening at around 7.30 pm, we started from here to Ernakulam. This is the last bus service from KSRTC to Ernakulam. As usual, because of the hectic Bangalore traffic, the bus somehow managed to come out of Bangalore at 8.45pm. There are two different routes to Ernakulam, one through Mysore and other through Comibatore. Our bus is through Mysore. Our plan is to straight a way to reach Ernakulam. But on the way, our Manager's native is there and since he invited us we changed our plan to get down in between. Once it crossed Mysore, we started sleeping and after sometime we heard some buzzing sounds. It was nothing from the Huge tall trees on both the sides of the road. Yeah, you are right we were in Wayanad forest area. Then followed by Hairpin bends and we reached Kozhikode in the morning around 5 am. Then we get down at Kunnankulam in the morning 7am[01-Oct-2006].
We had our breakfast and then lunch at our Manager's place. Our plan of visiting Guruvayoor which is 8kms from there gone for a toss, since it started raining. In Kerala, always choose the SuperFast bus which is really great. We started to our actual target Ernakulam at 5.30pm [at which there is a bus to Ernakulam(Cochin)]. It reached around 8.30pm and then we started to Mattanchery at Cochin Port area, where the relation's house was there.
Next day[02-Oct-2006] Gandhi Jayanthi day, we started at around 12.30 pm to Trivandrum. We came to Railway station to check the availability of any trains, but there is no train. So dont go to station if in the afternoon. Then we proceeded towards the KSRTC Bus stand. We were waiting for SuperFast. It came at 2.45pm and started at 3pm. Its a nice journey since it is along the sea shore...and then to Kollam....and finally we reached Trivandrum...our plan is to go to Kanyakumari...then at 8pm had dinner at trivandrum..and then to Nagercoil we started....We are into another state now...Tamilnadu...we reached kanyakumari after catching a bus from nagercoil...finally at 11.30pm. Logged into a Tri-Sea Hotel. That day itself we went
to sea-shore.Then came back since we need to see the sunrise the next day morning.
Sun came but along with the cloud, but it was a nice experience. Then at around 9.00am we started for the Vivekananda Rock through Boat. Then started
from there at 11.00 am to Nagercoil again and then to Trinelveli
and then to Tutiocorin, my hometown. That day evening we went to Beaches around tuticorin. Then the next day started back to Bangalore in KPN travels, a bad experience in travel.
