Left Chennai on the night train for Kannur. A 13 hour trip across India, from the Indian Ocean to the the Arabian Sea. The train coaches were relatively clean and comfortable. Slept most of the journey.......... thank God for that. (Picture above is a banana vendor at the Chennai Railway Station)
The country side is so much like Malaysia. If we replace the Indian style houses with kampung house, it will be difficult to tell the difference. Of course minus the open air toilets!!
A village along the way, by the rail track. The coconut trees and dirt road is reminiscent of my grandmother's kampung.
This is not the bridge over Sungai Perak. It looks similar though.
Reached Kannur in the morning.
People waiting for the train at Kannur Station, on the platform and off the platform! Disregard the rubbish on the track. You haven't seen the real thing yet!!!!
A view of the tracks. Litter litter everywhere.
Kannur fort.
Overlooking the sea entry point from Kannur fort.
The well maintained gardens of the fort.
Walking the gang way, heading to...................
.................the dungeon !!!!!!!
From Kannur travelled by car to kampung, Mattul. The roads are good but a bit narrow. However the drivers are more 'daring'. Thrill seekers actually. Thank god we made it safely to the kampung!!!!
To be continued...............
