The 4 hour bus ride from Cochin developed into a 6 hour journey as we drove in the bus that was more like a tank into the mountainous region. I was moving with Asa, a nice Swedish girl & also met Laura & Jay, a couple of really funny English girls on the bus. Due to the temperature difference we entered a beast of a storm, with thunder & lightening which eventually struck a huge tree just up ahead and brought it down smack bang in the middle of the road. All the guys piled out into the torrential rain and with the help of one guy with a stone age axe began ripping off branches and trying to clear the way which was a bit optimistic considering it must have weighed about 50 tonnes. Eventually a bulldozer turned up and helped out and we were back on our way after loads of young lads had had their photo taken with me “the token whitey with blonde hair”. Arrived in Munnar Valley and explored the tea plantations and took an early morning trek up a mountain during sun rise, reaching the summit at about 10:00am for breakfast.
