Munnar Trip

Having made pals with a lots of batch mates and hotel mates... it was easy to settle in. And the MUNNAR TRIP was instrumental in getting to know my pals a lot better. Especially Ashish, Shewaaz, Prashanth, Vivek, Swathi, Neha... Lots of others..

We started on Friday Night at 10 PM. I was already dead tired for i hadn't slept well in the past 4 days. So i slept off admist all the Hindi and Punjabi numbers playing at a high volume. I gotup the next day around 6.30 AM to find myself staring at a green patch of a hill top smeared with Clouds. It was a pleasant way to start the morning. We checked in at Munnar Tourist Home (MTH) and then started out to a couple of locations. I should admit that i wasn't all that satisfied on what was my First visit to Munnar if it hadn't been for the Kwel Speed-Boat ride later in the day. I was expecting a lot of trekking and a lot more fauna to be found. All i got to see was a pitiful mountain goat (Blah Blah). But the Boat Ride changed my mood for the better. It was another FIRST for me... On a speed Boat. I felt the lake beneath us... It was ****ing COLD. My fingers got numb for the next 12 hours.

The next day we started for ALLEPEY for the most boring part of our Trip.. The Backwater boat ride. Baah.. 3 Hrs of hell watching only water and coconut trees. We returned at 10 PM and i almost immediately dozed off. Need some rest before ILP resumes on Monday. Syanora
