914 kilometres from Thivim, Goa to Ernakulum Junction, Kerala
The train was actually delayed by two hours which were happily spent soaking up the atmosphere on the platform. (See the cat with the bell on?)
I ended up chatting to a group of Keralan boys who taught me a few words in Malayam, the local dialect in Kerala. Within minutes there was a crowd of onlookers observing this impromptu language lesson.
Surprisingly enough, we arrived on time, somehow making up the delay through the night. Which makes me wonder why some trains don't get in early... something that I have never heard of in India.
