going to kodaikanal

yesterday we went with one of our indian friends john to madaurai to
pick up another elective student from the airport. her name is anna
and she is a german medical student in the same year as us. after
picking her up, we had a tour around town with john and his family,
which was great fun! we went to the ghandi museum, and some famous
temples, mosques and stuff. it Was a great day, though sooo hot! i
think anna just wanted to go to sleep though.

today, the three of us have gone to kodaikanal for the weekend. it is
a hill station in the ghats. hopefully we should be able to relax a
bit when we're there, maybe have something other than curry to eat and
possibly even some wine! we have heard rumours of a swimming pool too
but we dont want to get our hopes up too much!

the other day, we went on this gospel trip. it was a pretty great
evening... we didnt understand any of it as it was all in tamil, but
it was still fun to be there. they wanted us to sing some english
songs for them too, but we ran out of time in the end. i might try to
teach the guys at the hospital some at some point though!

well i think we're nearly at our stop (im writing this on the bus on
my phone so sorry for any predictive txt stuff) so i should probs pay
some attention to getting off with all my stuff! i'll try and upload
some more pics soon too.
