Tour to Ooty - Part 2

It was around 5.30 am in the morning we reached the mountain town of ooty.....and we started the search for accommodation...@ 6am were all standing on a road in search of the rooms availability and it was a strange coincidence about the road which you would later .....it was all was vain until 8 in the morning as we were just roaming in different directions for the same.....at 8 am we got a cottage and it would take another 30 minutes for it to be ready....and we planned to complete our breakfast so that we can go start for sight seeing once we are ready....

At 10 in the morning first we had started for the doddabetta which was about 10 kms from the town of ooty....its the highest point from where we can see the whole town of ooty....spent the whole afternoon there....we had the lunch on the top of the hill and took lot of snaps....which I would try to include in the blog....the next place to be visited was the botanical park of ooty which has a lot of trees which we don’t normally see on the roads or the parks of the cities...next it was the tea museum and factory....it was a good experience on how the tea is made in the factories...and the tea there tasted the best....it was 4 in the evening and it started drizzling....and we decided to go the paikara lake which is one of the main attractions of the town....it was around 5.15 in the evening....it had started raining heavily....we nearly abandoned the visit to the lake due to the rain....fortunately for us the rain had receded and we decided to go ahead with the visit....we bought the tickets for a 10 seater boat which was comfortable and in the 2 rounds of the lake took lot of photos and sung songs from the bollywood which were apt while roaming around the lake.

It was 6.30 in the evening and we had completed the rounds of the lake and by 7 in the evening we were in the cottage in batches….after half hour of relaxation after then we went for snacks and brought some chocolates of ooty....after that it was all chatting sitting in the room.....and it was 10.30 in the night we started for dinner and to our surprise everything was closed and we were on the same road in the search of food on which we were at 6 am in search of the room.....which was a strange coincidence....and in the mean time....my colleague who planned the tour got injured as he twisted his ankle......while walking on the road....we had our dinner at around 12.30 in the night...after we could find something to eat.....the it was all saying good night and going into sleep....and it was heavily raining with thunderstorms all around and it was getting colder even in the mid summer’s night.....
