Our last hotel in Kerala
It was too peaceful with no TV in the room
|
|
Waiting for the train to go by
|
Every surface crossing has a gate attendant who manually puts down the gate
|
This gentleman did it at least five minutes before the train came
|
There was like forty vehicles on each side before the gates went back up
|
There was a big sign saying not to abuse the gate attendant, I can see why
