the boat is in the barn
after spending a week in kanyakumari i felt like a change in scenery, and the stifling heat made me yearn for a change of climate too. so i headed north to a hill station called kodaikanal, which at over 2000 metres in altitude comfortably ticked both of those boxes. it looked like there were a lot of photogenic hikes in the area, so it was with frustration that i found myself still suffering from delhi belly for the entirety of my stay. by this stage it had been around 3 weeks of symptoms, and i belatedly came to accept that my body was unable to fight it off without assistance. so i took a bus from here to bangalore and went to see a doctor who gave me a selection of pills - within 24 hours i was completely cured and feeling 100% better. it was such a relief to finally be healthy, although i couldn't help but also feel like i should have taken this course of action a couple of weeks sooner. still, i'm sure it will be a lesson that i will need to return to in the future.
so back in kodaikanal i wasn't able to go on any big treks, but i did wander around the town centre which is dominated by a big lake and botanical gardens. i spotted this boathouse during a daytime walk around the lake and returned a few nights later when the skies were clear, here's another angle of the same scene
