Munnar weekend - part 1


I had another great weekend of tourist adventures with the whole team. Our trusty driver Narayan and his 12 seat traveler safely transported us on the 4+ hours trip from Kochi into the hill town of Munnar. Cooler temperatures, green valleys and masses of tea plantations made for a great escape from the city.

Our accommodation was a lovely spot deep in the woods at the end of a quiet road. India continues to surprise, as a campfire was set and songs were sung (or listened to with great enjoyment in my case). If there was an "India 16's Got Talent" competition I wouldn't envy the judges, but for mine there was a standout contribution... great work Rick "Willie Julio Benny Bjorn Lennon McCartney" Power.

There is no better way to round out such a pleasant experience then to witness the Jeckyll and Hyde transformation of our once pleasant host into a drunken, gibbering, farting and (thankfully) eventually passed out mess of a man. I guess that answers the question of what happened to the second half of Rick's whiskey bottle.

First part of video highlights... more to come later.
