Munnar
by mikka
Another day trip out of Fort Cochin is a visit to the former British hill station and tea plantation of Munnar. Day trip might be a bit of a stretch - at three and a half hours away, most of the day was spent driving there.
Munnar was very pretty, and it was nice to get up into the mountains; but mostly the visit revolved around taking photos of, drinking and buying tea. (Pretty good tea, though!)
I was also really happy to see that India apparently uses the same route markers as Vietnam!
Also, quite randomly, this group of Indian dudes asked for a group photo when we were stopped to admire to the view. So at least there's one photo of me in India!
