Traveling overnight is so incredibly efficient. It's ridiculous, you'd be sleeping anyways, and while you do, you get where you wanna go. So jealous of the public transportation here.
So I left Hampi at 8:30pm on Wed and got to Fort Cochin at 4:30am on Friday. Thursday I was SO bored in Bangalore because I arrived at 6:30am and had no where to go until 5:15pm. Lame. So what did I do? Well I wandered until I found a restaurant that opened at 7 and they let me sit there for a loooooooooong time reading until the first movie started at a theater near there at 10:30. It was Salt with Angelina Jolie which was just as distracting as I hoped it would be. But then it was over and I was bored again, so I finally figured out where there was a theater that showed more than one movie and got there in time to miss the very beginning but saw the rest of Inception. More actiony movies than I prefer, but I'll watch anything and it kept me occupied until it was time for my train. And even including really expensive rickshaws it still cost less than seeing one movie at home. So yay me!
The I slept on the train and got to Fort Cochin at 4:30am, but had to sit in the waiting room until around 6:30 because that's when the ferry runs. It was nice to be up and about early but I am a little knackered tonight. Got through 4 books since Wed because of all the waiting. I am well read in silly romance novels, rereading Eragon, another fantasy book, and The Host. So pretty much being lazy, but I like it.
Today the power was out. Like literally all day long. For a real reason this time though, a branch fell on a power line. Well done India, a legit reason for a lack of power. So suckage. I really miss Laura and Becca, I was telling my mom about how excited Becca is to get back to her "squidgy duvet" and I just laughed and missed how excited she gets and then I wanted to talk to someone about the Host which Laura recommended I read and she isn't here! Gotta make time to go to Europe so I can see those girls again!
Alright, I know the posts have not been all that interesting, but I am gonna focus my internet energies on giving y'all some pics so you have that to look forward to!
Me?
I got one plan for the near future: shop till I drop
