Views from the top of the world!

Kodaikanal is FANTASTIC.  Not only do they have horses roaming the streets, but there's a Baskin Robbins and hot showers!!

We've been staying at a wonderful place called Dalethorpe Homestay, described on the website as an English bungalow built in the 1930s.  The grounds are beautiful, with a very well-tended garden.

Kind of a weird view, but I was just trying to snap a picture of the yellow lady bug.



After some miscommunication with our driver and a rescuing phone call from our house mom Tendrall back in Thanjavur, we along with the owner of the homestay, Shaheed, spent the day hiking in the mountains.  We played in some waterfalls, saw baby monkeys, and enjoyed the view from the edge of a mountain.  For real.

Despite walking a few miles in pouring rain, today has been absolutely fantastic!  Kodaikanal has already provided me with a much-needed break! :)
