The biggest surprise is that "Cardamom House" set in this exquisite and breath-takingly beauutiful area located at the foot of the Western Ghats, has Wi-Fi! so I can continue blogging, even if the phone has no signal.
After receiving a password from the UK Indian Railways to enable us find out where and what our seats were, we were able to amble our way in an Indian manner to Villupuram Junction , safe in the knowledge we had somewhere to sit for the six-hour journey. We had "best seats", AC 2 Tier, which gave us the chance to sit together, relatively undisturbed, apart from the procession of food salesmen....."Cod. Drink" "Chikkin Biryani". "Coffeetea". The train left Villupuram straight on time, but somehow managed to be 45 minutes late by the time it reached Dindigul
Chris Lucas, the inspiration behind Cardamom House, arranged transport for us between the station and the House.The vehicle looked from the outside like an enormous ice cream van, but there was plenty of room for us and our luggage, and just 45 minutes later we were in what was going to be a home and a half for three days.
Tomorrow we are going to the village, Athoor. There is some exploration and interaction ahead. So glad we got back to this beautiful place again.
