March 3rd: Off to Kodaikanal

This map shows the road route but you get the point
We made our 1:30 pm flight to Madurai (via Chennai, about five hours total) and met our driver who would take us the rest of the way into the Western Ghat mountains to Kodaikanal (another 3 hours drive).
I took a few pictures of the gorgeous tropical
sun setting in the haze   

We only had about 40 minutes of daylight left once we were landed, so we missed the views as we drove high up into the mountains. We arrived at our hotel around 10 pm and could see lights from the towns and villages miles below us – I couldn’t wait to see what the light of the morning would show! We then made arrangements to have breakfast with Emily’s cousin, Maura, and her husband, Will, the next day. We slept well on beds that were finally long enough for us!


You can see the mountains we are headed to just in front of the setting sun
