Heading to kumily today so mished to the train station and took a train to kottayam and then onto our bus to kumily...4.5 hours on a local bus! but was actually alright...the scenary was amazing and the definite coolness once we got more up into the mountains was lovely. saw tea plantations as we got closer in, which look so cool! they trim the tops of the tea so all the bushes are the same height. some plantations are really tickety-boo and all lined up nicely too, across the hills which makes it look very picturesque.
got another hut at a nice family homestay and booked a tree hut for the next night...so den very excited. ( am too...but perhaps less so...) the tree hut does over look the periyar park tho which is a plus. Dinner just down the road overlooking the park also. Got beer which is a bit funy as most of these places don't have licenses...so to avoid detection they serve an entire kingfisher in a teapot and you drink it out of coffee mugs that usually have a cheesy motif on the outside (“mom is the best” or “visit beautiful cornwall”)...good indian ingeunity and very funny to see what looks like people drinking tea with their dinner at 7pm :P
Nice home cooked curry and more pappadams, yum! dennis tried chicken biriyani which is fragrant fried rice with chicken inside.
