Day 1
At night, me and my parents boarded the sleeper coach bus.
Day 2
In the morning at 6:45 AM, we hopped off the bus at the bus stop. After that, we walked halfway and took a cab to our hotel, Residency. We took a bath and got freshened up, then went to Dr. Abdul Kalam’s house. At his house, there was so much fascinating stuff—like his uniform from when he worked with space rockets!
From there, we went to Dhanushkodi.
And then we went up the tower to see the Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal. We saw the Ghost Town and the church that were destroyed by the tsunami.

Afterwards we went to the main temple to do Abhishekam.
We returned back to the hotel and rested for 2 minutes and then at 6 o’clock, my parents took me swimming in the pool. At 7 PM, we had dinner and went to sleep in our room.
Day 3
I woke up at 7:30 AM, took a bath, and we went to see Dr. Abdul Kalam’s memorial. After that, we checked out and took a cab to Kanyakumari—it was around a 4 to 5-hour drive. We reached the Amaari Beach Resort, which had a wonderful view of the Indian Ocean. I went swimming in the pool at 7 PM, had dinner at 8 PM, and then went to sleep.
Day 4
I woke up and went swimming in the pool, then took a bath before taking a ferry ride to see the Vivekananda Rock Memorial and Thiruvalluvar Statue. We came back on the ferry and walked to the Gandhi Memorial. After that, we visited a temple and walked along the beach. At night, we boarded another sleeper coach bus with a toilet and I fell asleep.
Day 5
I woke up, got off the bus, and took an auto home. After changing into my school uniform, I went straight to school.
What a fun trip it was.
