MUNNAR : PARADISE OF SOUTH

I reached munnar by 11pm.My plan is to spend the night in bus station till 7am and then roam around the beautiful place.But the first shock came when i was dropped on the main street of munnar.Yes munnar doesnt have a proper bus station.They just drop you on road.It was so cold and i haven't got my sleepig bag.I found a small pan shop open.I went there and requested him to charge my mobile.He asked me about my travel and offered me to come inside.He said he will be closing at 12 and will open again at 7am.At 12 i was all alone on the road in bitter cold.I sat in a corner and tried to sleep.After 1 hr cops came and asked me to go away and find a hotel.Instead i found a narrow and dark shopping lane which gave the impression that it will be soo busy in the morning.Its impossible for cops to find me in that dark lane.I found myself a cozy spot and rested my eyes.

                                                                 At 7 in the morning i woke up to find a wendon watching me with a surprise.I left that place,found a small public tap,brushed and started to roam around.As it was so cold and my next destintion is ooty which will be cold as well i brought a pair of gloves and a beanie cap for 50rs which isn't bad at all.I found the shopkeeper who helped me to charge my mobile last night.He was happy to see me.He helped me with the places to see and how to reach stuff and also agreed to keep my backpack safe till i return in the evening.

                                                    On the way to top station i found a solo traveler from sweden.We became friends and traveled the whole day together.I hiked a cargo auto and he was excited at that experience.We also trekked deep in the forest spotted some wild monkey,deers and a lion squirrel.He offered me to stay with him for the night as he was alone.so trip in munnar isn't bad at all.

here are some pics

                                                After travelling,rolling and trekking for 2 days in munnar now its time to visit the queen of hill stations OOTY.When i got onto the bus to OOTY the only thing i hoped for is getting a ticket to toy train.
