After Pondicherry we took a late overnight train getting us into Madurai at 6:30am. This was our first sight into the Indian rail network, and having run about a mile down the length of the train to get into our carriage we were relieved to discover that we had our own personal cabin. Unfortunately we discovered in the morning we had an extra passenger in First Class, and he hadn't got a ticket - eek!!
Madurai is the 3rd largest city in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu (they also speak a whole new language). With a population of over 1.2 million it's very crowded and not very clean.
After seeing the temples we retired to our hotel, order room service for dinner and got an early night in preparation for our long drive in the morning up to Munnar.
