Tea plantations, Coonoor, Tamil NaduA day of travel. After breakfast at Mahalakshmi's in Bedford (in which we are, yet again, the only customers in a space built for 100) we get the bus to Coonoor, the another bus back down the hill to Coimbatore. From there, after both of us getting confused and irritated by the numerous bus stands and conflicting directions given to us, we finally get a bus to Trissur, back in Kerala. This bus is blasting out a Tamil film at speaker-ruining volume on a TV mounted behind the driver, who turns it up even further whenever there's too much traffic for him to hear it.

At Trissur, tired and once again very hot, we crash out in our room with a beer. I watch a Newcastle - Middlesbrough match (1-1) followed by the preposterous 'Deja Vu' starring Denzel Washington, who should know better.
