Our Trusty Toyota

Our original plan was to travel from Calicut to Bangalore by train but we waited too long to buy tickets and the trains were sold out. Our friend Ashraf agreed to drive us to Bangalore & Jafar’s brother in law Rauf also joined us to show us some sights along the way and to keep Ashraf company on the trip home.

The total distance was only about 500km but the roads are narrow and heavily traveled, so our average speed was about 50 km/h.

Our journey took us up into the mountains climbing several switchbacks along the way.
