Traveled to Trichy (known on the maps as Tiruchirapalli) in a crowded 3rd-class r.r. car – an uncomfortable 3 hours, but an interesting crowd and everyone cheerful and helpful to us patriarch-looking men. Muggy but not hot night, and all the windows of the car were wide open. The car was equipped with dozens of ceiling fans, which weren’t operating, but I could imagine what it is probably like on a really hot tropical day.
The hotel we found thru Lonely Planet is fine and convenient. We have a nice size room on the 5th floor with a pleasant view overlooking a grove of trees, and the street noise is light. Shower works, beds comfortable – what more can one ask?
