Buking of the busses u can approch a lot of tour operators near the station itself. Get out of the station through the main entrance and then cross the road and ask any person the way to Aryas/arul jyothi It is a very good Veg hotel and then by the side of it itself u can see private operators.
If u r so interested i can tell u a temple in between the way to CAPE. It is called Sucheendram. Nice temple and there is a hanuman idol which is said to be growing. Also in TVM dont forget to visit Pazhavangadi Ganesh Temple and also the padmanabaha swami temple. if u want i can give u more details :)
