Arrived safety at Kottayam railway station...
The Malabar express has 23 coaches and the platform is very long so this chart directs me to the correct position.
Last chance to stock up on snacks for the journey.
There's always tea and coffee sellers on Indian trains.
Bedding is provided and taken away in the morning.
It's somewhat rundown but here's my destination...
The beautiful Bekal fort and many kilometres of golden sands.
