To Ernakulam from Mangalore

From Mangalore, we took the train Parasuram express. Nirmala's niece Sireesha was at the train station waiting for us with her van. The train journey was very comfortable. I was getting back to my normal health slowly. Sireesha moved back to Ernakulam from a short stay in Chennai, just in time for our trip. We were happy to see each other after a long time. Now she has a wonderful husband and two kids . We enjoyed their hospitality for about a week. They helped us in making local taxi arrangements etc. We made two separate trips from their location. We covered part of Tamil nadu also in one of the taxi trips. More on those temples in my next posts.
We were able to rest here for two reasons. One - we really needed it. Two - Rao got hold of local maps and planned in such an efficient way that we were left with two extra days before our return to Tirupathi on Dec 12th (the train reservations were made long time ago).
