the rolling hills of munnar

after a couple days relaxing at the beach, we packed up and jumped in a big taxi, driven by baboo, our friendly chauffuer.  off we headed up the mountains to munnar.  we had a bit of a hard time finding a room for the night, but when we did, we hit it big and found huge, cheap rooms at the poopada hotel,  you gotta love the name.  for our day of sightseeing around munnar we headed out first to a big dam,  which zoe was very happy to see was creating a rainbow!
 then we stopped by echo point, where farmor and farfar scored the girls some adorable little binoculars that they love. 
 then it was off to top station, where the views were still spectacular.  we even stopped for lunch there. 

 then we ended the tour with a beautiful flower garden.   then it was back to the hotel for dinner and relaxing.
 with all this driving around you might wonder what kind of barnstolar we have.  yeah, the human kind, i am not looking forward to their screams when i fasten them into their barnstols back in sweden.
today we drove to kumily.  a beautiful drive,  the countryside is packed with tea plantations on rolling hills. tomorrow we celebrate eijla!
