What a gorgeous drive we had today up into the mountains. We even visited a roadside “Honey Museum” and learned a bit about the local honeybee, which is smaller than the bees we get for our hives.Weiterlesen

Oh man. The food so far! In India “hotel” means restaurant. This is a bustling big room with a huge noisy kitchen and lots of employees. The trick for us on this trip will be at least partlyWeiterlesen

Our hotel is up a side road off of the main highway, and our room looks out to absolutely gorgeous rolling hills of tea bushes. The texture/pattern is mesmerizing, and the lighting at sunset wasWeiterlesen

We didn’t make a lot of miles today because of going 15kph and slower through the winding roads of the mountains, and 30kph driving through the tiger reserve. But once we got out into flat territoryWeiterlesen

Leaving Munnar we went higher into the mountains to the ultimate elevation of a little over 6000 feet and then dropped down into the dessert side of the mountains. The road went through this tigerWeiterlesen

Coming in from a search for coffee (this hotel doesn’t have tea/coffee in the room) we noticed a honeybee hive hanging from the eave of our hotel!!

Lunch break in Rasipuram at Classic Rider Cafe. Their motto “Eat Ride Repeat” fits us for sure. Checked the oil this morning (it looks great), met the cutest gal working at a petrol station (sheWeiterlesen

We planned on staying at a fairly nice hotel tonight in Viluppuram, but it was already full when we got here and trying to find another in the chaos of the city was going to be a challenge. So weWeiterlesen

What a total immersion in India that isn’t catering to western tourists.
Last night I picked up a couple feet of tuberose garland at a flower stall because the bit we had before was dried out andWeiterlesen
Reisender Me toooo! I meant to take a picture to show how the individual flowers are knotted together. I’ll definitely do that if I can find some more of the garland to buy. So lovely.

We just wanted to see the beach briefly, and headed for the Shore Temple to see what that’s all about. We were lucky enough to score a guide who told us all about it and explained the main HinduWeiterlesen
Reisender This is SO great to follow you along!! Beautiful country! ❤️❤️❤️
Reisender ❤️❤️
Reisender I am enjoying your travel blog here. Eric I’ve been showing Sherman and I think it makes him homesick. He loved the open air market picture and misses having them to go to.
