The steam train to Ooty
So up at 4:30am, fingers crossed we get on the train to Ooty as we only have waiting list tickets but our names are on the list! We board the train for a 5 hour trip which starts are 7:10am. It was worth the early start!
Meet Leelu
This was our first India cooking course learning 1 fish curry & 3 traditional Keralan veg dishes. Coconut oil & garam masala are the key ingredients! Jess is bringing Leelu home with her!
Fort Cochin's Contemporary Visual Art Festival
We stumbled across an interesting art exhibition including some of India's brightest artists.
A walk around Fort Cochin
This guy was getting an actual tattoo on the street....there was sewage running into sea right next to us while he was getting it done!!
In a nicer part of town there were endless fruit and veg stalls selling amazing stuff.

Tea as far as you can see
A five hour trek into the tea hills resulted in hundreds of pictures of limitless green vista's. Here's a few so you don't get to bored!
Relaxing in the hills
We stayed in an incredible homestay in Munnar called Zina's cottages surrounded by rolling tea plantations. We were'nt allowed out after 9pm because of wild boar and wild elephants!
