- Bangalore - Last stop! + thanks to the equipment!Bangalore We took the "superfast" train from Mysore to Bangalore, which was a comfortable two and a half journey. Getting from the train to our accommodation in Bangalore was a different story! It must have been 20 minutes Posted by Lindseyalan73 in AandL's World travels | Apr 26, 2015
- MysoreAway for an early start from Kalpetta - the bus journey to Mysore takes over 4 hours - we were lucky that a bus to Bangalore (via Mysore) arrived just after we got dropped off at the bus stop. Posted by Lindseyalan73 in AandL's World travels | Apr 23, 2015
- Kalpetta - WayanadTravelled in the comfort of a Volvo AirCon bus for the two and a half hour journey from Calicut to Kalpetta, including 9 spectacular hairpins in a row (for which they had thoughtfully put up signs 1/9, 2/9 ... ... Posted by Lindseyalan73 in AandL's World travels | Apr 22, 2015
- Calicut - StopoverIt was too far to get to the Wayanad area (our next place to visit) in one day so we decided to stop over in Calicut (Kozhikode). Ferry from Fort Cochin over to Ernakalem on the mainland, auto Posted by Lindseyalan73 in AandL's World travels | Apr 20, 2015
- CochinAfter our tranquil start to the day on the houseboat, we had a 'rude' change back to the usual rigours of travel in India with the (fortunately relatively brief) journey by buses to Cochin! It started off quietly enough Posted by Lindseyalan73 in AandL's World travels | Apr 18, 2015
- Kerala Backwaters - Alleppey and environsFor the second part of our week in the backwaters we were based in Alleppey, which is the main touristic centre for the backwaters. We stayed in a pleasant homestay/guest house where we had a bedroom, separate room with Posted by Lindseyalan73 in AandL's World travels | Apr 15, 2015
- Kerala Backwaters - Munroe IslandMunroe Island was our first stop in the beautiful backwaters of Kerala. It is quite remote as a tourist destination but just two stops away from the town of Kollam on the train. Our journey there from Varkala Posted by Lindseyalan73 in AandL's World travels | Apr 12, 2015
- Varkala Leaving our guest house in Negombo, Sri Lanka at 0500 by auto rickshaw for Colombo airport, it seemed that we had quite a lot of travelling ahead of us to our next stop - a short flight to Posted by Lindseyalan73 in AandL's World travels | Apr 8, 2015
- TrivandrumA fairly easy and calm journey of two and a half hours by train took us from Kanyakumari to Trivandrum (in the state of Kerala). The train was quiet but, luckily, we saw the large numbers on the platform Posted by Lindseyalan73 in AandL's World travels | Mar 9, 2015
- KanyakumariBack to train travel for the 5 hour journey to Kanyakumari. We had some fun trying to get the ticket at the reservation place in Madurai - enlisting help from the affable Chief Reservation Officer - nothing available on Posted by Lindseyalan73 in AandL's World travels | Mar 5, 2015
- MaduraiBack to bus transport this time - a fairly painless 4 hour journey from Tanjore to Madurai, although the bus stations were quite a long way out of town at each end - so auto rickshaw rides had to be Posted by Lindseyalan73 in AandL's World travels | Mar 1, 2015
- Tanjore - hot and noisy with superb "Big" templeNot as straight forward for the transport this time - auto rickshaw to bus station, bus to Cuddalore, then a train (from Tirupadripulyar station) to Tanjore and finally auto rickshaw from the railway station to the hotel. Allowing good time Posted by Lindseyalan73 in AandL's World travels | Feb 25, 2015
- Pondicherry - Contrasts: French, Tamil, Ashram ...Lucky again with the transport to Pondy. Took an auto rickshaw to the Mamallapuram bypass after breakfast and the bus arrived a couple of minutes later. Two hours to Pondy bus terminal. The bus was quite busy Posted by Lindseyalan73 in AandL's World travels | Feb 23, 2015
- Mamallapuram - temples, seaside and relaxationTook an auto rickshaw to the large CMBT bus station (10 km, 45 minutes) and we're straight on the bus to Mamallapuram at 0900. It's 2 hours for the 65km journey (most of which is in the horrendous traffic Posted by Lindseyalan73 in AandL's World travels | Feb 19, 2015
- Chennai - A "full on" intro to Southern IndiaFlying Emirates from Nice to Chennai with around 3 hours in Dubai (around the middle of the night) was quite a comfortable way to get to India. A typical western meal on the Nice Dubai leg, with probably our Posted by Lindseyalan73 in AandL's World travels | Feb 17, 2015
- Calcutta, 19 - 21 March 2009The last of the overnight train journeys- a long but comfortable one - brought us in to a chaotic Hourah station early in the morning. Hundreds of those dear Ambbassador taxis outside but the getting the prepaid taxi to the Posted by Lindseyalan73 in AandL's World travels | Mar 18, 2009
- Varanasi, 15 - 18 March 2009The road/rail journey from Khajuraho to Varanasi is particularly gruelling so we opted for a 40 minute flight instead! Cheap and painless with Jet Airways. We had a dear old Hindustan Ambassador (looks like a relic from the 50's) taxi from Posted by Lindseyalan73 in AandL's World travels | Mar 14, 2009
- Khajuraho, 13 - 15 March 2009Comfortable two and a half hour train journey to Jhansi, then we had the prospect of a 5 - 6 hour trip (180 km) on a local bus to Khajuraho - and that was going to be after getting ourselves Posted by Lindseyalan73 in AandL's World travels | Mar 12, 2009
- Agra, 12 March 2009Lindsey was feeling better by the afternoon, and OK for the train to Agra (see photo of her in station waiting room - note: her feet are up on the seat because there was a rat running round the room!). Posted by Lindseyalan73 in AandL's World travels | Mar 12, 2009
- Ranthambhore, 8 - 11 March 2009A comfortable two and a half hour train journey in reclining seats in air con carriage and we were in Sawai Modhapur station, just a few kilometers by auto rickshaw to our "resort" hotel, which itself is just 4 kilometers Posted by Lindseyalan73 in AandL's World travels | Mar 7, 2009
- Jaipur, 4 - 7 March 2009Having had a virulent dose of "Pushkar's Revenge" overnight before leaving , I was happy that we just had a taxi ride into Ajmer and a two and a half hour train journey during the afternoon to get to Jaipur! Posted by Lindseyalan73 in AandL's World travels | Mar 3, 2009
- Pushkar 1 - 4 March 2009, plus Food and Drink itemAnother overnight journey - but this is the last for some time. 1AC class on the train - which means a comfortable 4 birth cabin. Only problem ... arriving in Ajmer, which is a three quarter hour trip away from Posted by Lindseyalan73 in AandL's World travels | Feb 28, 2009
- Udaipur, 25 - 28 February, 2009Jodhpur has a railway station and so does Udaipur, but its apparently impractical to go by train between the two ... so, it was an overnight bus! An experience ... because it was the first time we had experienced Indian Posted by Lindseyalan73 in AandL's World travels | Feb 25, 2009
