Hey guys well this trail of hardship continues. After the stresses and strains of massages and lots of beer and rum and coke. We arrived in kollam off the train. These are getting a lot less daunting now. As long as you get a seat away from groups of lads, you adopt a hard b**** attitude to the ticket queue and you pay attention to which station you're at it's fine.
