Group pickup
A full coach for Munroe Island loads at one wide point at 4:30. Munroe groups crossing into Tamil Nadu should watch for bandh calls tied to the Kaveri water row, since Mysore protests tend to halt interstate coaches before anything else. The coach heads south on NH766. Munroe Island is about 510 km away, with a night halt at Palakkad. Munroe Island is 510 km past Mysore for the coach. Munroe Island departure time is announced twice at Mysore.

Coach tea halt
Sixty kilometres along, the Munroe coach refuels at Chamarajanagar while fifty people queue for tea. Highway pumps outside this district capital are roomy enough for a full bus. Read out the departure time, then count every seat before the doors close. Next comes the Sathyamangalam woodland and the bends down from Hasanur, where a coach cannot pull over. Munroe Island is 450 km past Chamarajanagar for the coach. Munroe Island departure time is announced twice at Chamarajanagar.

Tea for the coach
Sathyamangalam, 145 km out, is the first halt after the ghat, which bars vehicles of 12 or more wheels; our coaches are smaller. Let people walk off the bends before tea. Paddy lines both banks of the Bhavani here. Munroe Island is 365 km past Sathyamangalam for the coach. Munroe Island departure time is announced twice at Sathyamangalam. Munroe Island water bottles get refilled at Sathyamangalam. Munroe Island seats stay as allotted from Sathyamangalam.

Coach tea halt
On the Coimbatore bypass, around 210 km from home, the Munroe coach takes diesel and the group takes tea. Lorries carrying pumps, motors and grinders from this industrial city clog the inner roads, so we never go in. Thirty minutes of plains later the coach meets the Kerala line at Walayar. Munroe Island is 300 km past Coimbatore for the coach. Munroe Island departure time is announced twice at Coimbatore. Munroe Island water bottles get refilled at Coimbatore.

Night halt
Palakkad, at 265 km, is the coach's night halt after the Walayar check posts. Book one hotel with coach parking. Kalpathy Ratholsavam, the chariot festival of the old agraharam, falls in November and crowds the city, so book early then. The coach leaves early next morning. Munroe Island is 245 km past Palakkad for the coach. Munroe Island departure time is announced twice at Palakkad. Munroe Island water bottles get refilled at Palakkad.

Coach tea halt
Thrissur, about 50 km into day two, is a tea halt for the coach. Our Lady of Dolours Basilica here is described as the largest church in India. Kochi is about 70 km on. Tea for fifty takes time, so order it by phone. Munroe Island is 195 km past Thrissur for the coach. Munroe Island departure time is announced twice at Thrissur. Munroe Island water bottles get refilled at Thrissur. Munroe Island seats stay as allotted from Thrissur.

Coach tea halt
Kochi, about 385 km from Mysore, is a tea halt on the highway. Big groups are dropped on main roads in Kochi because the old island lanes are tight. NH66 runs south from here to Alappuzha. Munroe Island is 125 km past Kochi for the coach. Munroe Island departure time is announced twice at Kochi. Munroe Island water bottles get refilled at Kochi. Munroe Island seats stay as allotted from Kochi.

Munroe Island is 70 km past Alleppey for the coach. Munroe Island departure time is announced twice at Alleppey. Munroe Island water bottles get refilled at Alleppey. Munroe Island seats stay as allotted from Alleppey.

Drop and parking
The coach reaches the Munroe Island area after about thirteen hours of driving over two days. Island lanes are narrow, so the coach parks on the main road and the group walks or takes country boats. The islands are about 25 km from Kollam. Return from Munroe Island is the same 510 km. Share the Munroe Island departure time with all fifty. From Munroe Island, the coach uses the same halts home.
