A 7 day vaction in Kodaikanal
Hai! My name is Vijay and I live in Chennai. Chennai, though a
very pleasant city in many other ways, gets intolerably hot in
summer. This year, Chennai recorded the second highest
temperature in two years! We were melting in our clothes. This
is why, we shouted with joy when my father told us he was taking
to Kodaikanal (a hill station) for a leisurely summer vacation.
Our father booked the tickets through the Internet, for our
railway journey. On May 11th, we started off our railway journey
to Kodaikanal. My father explained that our train would stop at
Kodai Road, from where we would take a taxi to Kodaikanal. Our
train started from Chennai at 8pm on May 11th. Early next
morning we arrived at Kodai Road. The air was fresh and
deliciously cool. We took a taxi, an old Ambassador car. We were
informed by our taxi driver that the journey would take 3 hours.
On the way, I relished in seeing the beautiful scenery
