Day 4 - It's what you do next that counts!

Headed to the airport to fly from Bengaluru to Thiruvananthapuram (also known as Trivandrum for obvious reasons). At the escalators there was a huge advertising sign showing Tiger Woods studying a shot he has put into a creek with the caption "It's what you do next that counts". Unfortunately being an Indian aiprort we weren't allowed to take a photo (though we did ask) as we thought it was hilariously apt.

There was a huge line for security and after queueing for a while a kind man pointed out that there were separate men's and women's queues - so K ran off to the other side. Unfortunately M was carrying 2 bottles of duty free (no, not for us!) and only at the very last minute did they inform us we coudn't take it through (we should have known though). Huge dash back to the check in counter, jumping all queues running flat out between floors we checked it in and made the flight.

Once we checked into our lovely hotel in Trivandrum we had lunch at the wonderful indoor/outdoor restaurant on the top floor. After lunch we walked for a while, then caught an auto-rickshaw to the zoo. Lots of locals there, though we felt sorry for some of the animals, especially the poor tigers that just continually paced the same short route inside their concrete cells.

After the zoo, further walking around town, and back to the hotel for a buffet dinner on the rooftop again, looking out over the palm trees towards the ocean.
