Last Thursday group B returned from Kallupatti and C headed to Nagapattinam. This entails a trip from each end to Tiruchirappalli (better known as Trichy).
RTU has a 10 seater Jeep which just fits 7 of us, a driver and our luggage. From Nagapattinam we had to hire a “taxi” which barely fitted 8 standard Indian sized persons let alone a group including Br Denis, Beau, Will H, and Ben H. Both groups set out about 8 am, and with a stop on the way for a coffee break finally met at the now popular Trichy diner for lunch at 12. As this was the second changeover so things went like clockwork this time. The first time we managed to find each other by finding the “taxi” with the luggage piled high on top!
The meal was a noisy affair with everyone obviously trying to share some of the experiences they had had since the previous encounter. We drank all their cold bottled water, and most of their soft drink, and most of their chicken and meat dishes, as well as copious quantities of naan, barota, noodles and rice.
A little after 1 we were on the road again after exchanging luggage , bodies and vehicles. 4 hours later we were in Kallupatti, and Peppi with group C and Br Doss were at Nagapattinam.
