For a short intermission from relaxing, one night we decide to explore the nearby mountians. Southern ones this time. Munnar is a 5 hour bus journey from Cochin, extreme boredom, deadly driving and hard seats.
The town itself is a dump, a mess of cheap hotels and restaurants, over a river of raw sewage. This however is not why we came. The surrounding area is wonderful, high hills covered with lush green tea plantations as far as the eye can see. We hired a jeep for the day, drove through these picturesque scenes to swim in another waterfall.
The nightlife consists of a liquor store down a dark and dirty back alley. Very atmospheric.
