Anyway we were to reach Vellore in 3 hours, roam around in the forest there for a few more hours and get back as fast as possible. Sadly that wasn’t the case!
The bus driver HAD to get lost and go around Vellore a gazillion times! And it had to be around 50 degrees outside! We couldn’t see any trees and we were supposed to be near a forest! To make matters worse I was HUNGRY!
Despite this the trip was a hell of a lot of fun! We sang. We screamed at people on the road. The most memorable of the lot was a lorry driver who screamed and sang back!
Aaaaand I danced on the bus! Yes people you read it right! I DANCED!
And not just one form but anything and everything- hip hop, dabbankuthu, weird Johnny bravo and Mr. Bean dances and pole dancing! But hey I wasn’t bad was I? =P
And when we FINALLY reached our destination we were mauled by monkeys. I tried to act cool and shoo them away but one monkey decided I wasn’t worth it and snarled and grabbed my foot. My respect for them has decreased considerably since then.
Back to the point. The forest was awesome. The trail was not. Neither was the water fall. It didn’t have water!
We were so dead at the end of the day but we managed to get on to the bus and dance all the way back! Thank you whoever brought the crazy music!
Moral of the story- Don’t go to Vellore for an excursion. Please don’t. However if you really really have to, take us Zoo people along. We promise to make it a lot of fun! =D
