We had an amazing drive up to Ooty, the queen of hillstations, via 36 hairpin bends, with no place to stop, so unfortunately no pics. We spent a little while recovering in the lovely botanic gardens.
We then caught the toy train that connects it with Coonoor, an hour away. Our tickets were 5 rupees each, about 6p, and amazingly, if Chris had filled out a form, he could have had 30% off for being over 60!
The fourth homestay was Sun Valley tea plantation with a wonderful view. The trees are planted between the tea to stop soil erosion, and the ladies are out picking by hand all day.
Next stop, the train to Fort Kochi.
