after mysore we headed to the mountains to ooty, great name, but cooold! it ended up being a much bigger, dirtier town than we expected, but it still had its charm. we stopped at the market and bought yummy banana chips.
they have tons of handmade chocolates here in ooty, and they are good! we made it to the rose garden yesterday where we took a break from checking out the flowers to enjoy a yummy treat.
today we did the tourist thing, rented a car and a bit of a tour. we stopped at a tea factory, where eijla enjoyed a cup of cardomon tea. it was so yummy we had to buy some ourselves, only problem is now we have to carry it around!
it is insanely stressful for me riding in cars with the girls here, makes me really appreciate their carseats back home. but here they almost never even have seatbelts in the backseats. i managed to catch a moment when they were both sitting down and calm.
we went to the lake and rode on a tiny train. stopped at the botanical gardens. and even visited the highest point in southern india, but there was so much fog the views were hidden. but we did find some other viewpoints out by some tea plantations that were beautiful. the girls even found some flowers to pick.
then we took the scenic train ride from conoor back up to ooty. it is a little mini train that takes more than an hour to wind up the mountain for about 25 kms. the girls loved that they could stick their heads out the windows.
zoe and eijla even made a friend on the train. they played the whole way.
yeah for the mini train!
