Bindu's Repose

I Karalot

I spent 8 days in Munnar, which was beautifull! The first morning I was there I took a Rickshaw to a local National Park where they have Nilgiri Tahr (some kind of Goat/Dear that is only found in that park and in Switzarland.) I also went to a tea factory and saw the whole CTC process... Damn! What a way to treat such a lovely plant :)

I met a couple (Dave & Tara) from England in Munnar and we spent quite a few days hiking together, seeing sights, etc. We traveled back to Kochin a few days ago and have been taking in the sights here. Yesterday we took a day trip to Athrapally where there's a great double waterfall (pictures of waterfall and more from around Kochin will be forthcomming :)

I'm taking a 3:35am flight to Delhi tonight so that I can take care of some Visa stuff and check out the sights up north. It has been so wonderfull here, I'm sure I'll miss it and especially I'll miss Dave and Tara's company. And I'm looking forward to seeing new things. I hope it isn't too hot and if it is, I'll head up into the hills (Manali, here I come :)

On a tangential note, I'm concerned about the SARS issue. Esp. since I'm planning on going to Hong Kong in 3 months and to Bangkok in 1 month... I really hope that this gets sorted quickly! Yikes!!! I also hope that we get better information on how to prevent infection and how to treat infection if it arrises.

Lots of Love to you all!
