WILL YOU TELL ME PLEASE .. 

WHEN DOES IT GET EASY?

I just completely lost .. as in 100% .. a final post .. photos and all.

So from the top here we go again ..

On the way home to Kodaikanal from Ooty .. Monday the 29th .. I got food poisoning.  Was it at this hotel below.  I will never know for sure.

LUNCH 004

LUNCH 001

So I put up a post yesterday (Tuesday) morning .. still sick-as-a-dog ..  saying that my going to Munnar was pretty much out-of-the question.

By yesterday afternoon at 2PM I was feeling better .. by 6PM yesterday I was feeling much better.

So I telephoned my people here at PARVEEN TRAVEL ..

PARVEEN 003

And I said to them .. “Can you get me to Munnar tomorrow?”

Raja at PARVEEN said .. “Meet me in my office at the Sivapriya Hotel at 7PM and we will make it happen!”

So .. in a nutshell .. below is what we have ..

Wed .. 1 May .. 0830 Hrs .. Leave Kodaikanal for Munnar in Kerala

1600 Hrs .. Arrive into Munnar

Thur ..  2 May .. Tour Munnar

Fri    ..  3 May .. Another (different from above) Tour of Munnar IF I CHOOSE.

Sat   ..  4 May .. 1600 Hrs .. Leave Munnar for Kodaikanal

Sat   ..   4 May .. 2400 Hrs .. Arrive into Kodaikanal

Here is a sweet deal.  Over on Blogspot I posted the below photo showing how cramped my legs were in a standard mini-bus.  My legs should be going straight forward towards the seat in front of me.  As you see below .. my legs were out into the aisle.  A three year old across the aisel was playing-footsie with my size 14 boots!

LEGROOM

It so happened that the local tour people DID NOT HAVE enough people to use a mini-bus.  So myself .. along with two other tourists .. are going to be taken to Munnar in a PRIVATE AUTO and I will be sitting in the front seat.

My hotel for three nights (Wednesday/Thursday/Friday) is arranged as is my return on Saturday. And I have my choice of taking or not taking the Friday tour option.

So out and off we go to Munnar .. Smiles .. Cap
