31hours on the Konkan Railway

---

Awoke at 730am, deliberately this time, had a curry breakfast and checked out, made our way to the main station by getting a tuk-tuk/auto to one station then a local train, then another tuk-tuk where the fat driver not only tried to rip us off but fitted 7 people in one tuk-tuk! we only just made it in time as the station was packed.
The train, the famous konkan railway was transport for the next 31hours all the way down to the south of india. It was supposed to be 27 but we decided to stay on longer and go to Varkala beach first. The food on the train (which is also well known) was quite good. The toilets however got quite smelly after a while After a sleep and more food we made it to Varkala the next day.
