bus ride down the mountain was horrible, as usual. I was car sick plus i got a headache from the rapid change of altitude. finally we got to the plains and was overcome with warmth. we arrived at the train station for our 9:10 train. we ended up being on THE WRONG END of the platform, we had to run to the other end to get on our car. we were on a sleeper car. it was an interesting experience to sleep on an indian train! it was packed but i felt safe enough to sleep because i was on the very top bunk. i was surprised that i actually slept, the trains movements lulled me to sleep, just like how i can sleep so easily on the subway at home. at 2:30 we were awoken in order to get off the train at Villapuram. we got on a bus and headed for Auroville via the ECR (east coast road). we arrived at 5 am, we were led to our rooms and very quickly fell asleep, only to be awoken at 8:30 for breakfast. it was only a three or so hour sleep but it felt incredibly long.
