We met for breakfast at nine and we went to the market, I bought a coconut monkey. Then we got on a coach that projects had hired to take us back to maidura. The coach was “too new” to make up the hill outside the hotel so most people had to get off and meet it at the top. The coach ride was rough, winding down the mountain. But the bollywood film was fun. WE got to Madurai and took a train with 2 other girls who were also going back to tirenuvelli (I had no idea there were other people in the same town as us) We got ice cream and played cards before the train came, why not draw more attention to ourselves.
On the train, some guy sitting in the luggage rack gave us homemade hawal, pecan flavoured. Another one of those times where you don’t know what to do, it was wrapped in a leaf and newspaper, he said his wife made it….uh decisions, we all had a little bit of it. It was really good, and turned out not to be too dangerous. He gave Zelda the phone so she could talk to his friend . After he left another man came. He was probably my favourite person so far. He told us he was 58 years old. He saw Lauren’s I pod and wanted to know what it was, he listened to a song, but was disappointed when there was no Tamil on it. Then he had Lauren take a picture of him, then he took her phone and used it. He was adorable and hilarious. Later he asked again to listen to music, he was dancing this time. He also made sure someone would tell us when we were at our train stop. He was a nice guy.
