Above: Here we are at the highest point on the mountain, 8,500 ft. elevation. That's the town of Ooty behind us, nestled on top of the mountain range. On a clear day you can see for a very long way from here. The day we went was cloudy, but even then the view was really awesome. It was really neat being in the cloud and feeling the moisture blowing on our cheeks. It was much cooler up here than were we are staying in Coimbatore. We wished we had brought our jackets.
Above: We got to tour a tea factory. It was a really neat experience seeing all the machines they use and the process for making the tea. I felt like Mr. Rogers lol.
Above: We also got to go inside a couple really old Churches. This one was built in 1895. C.T. Studd pastored here for a while. Amy Carmichael also spent a lot of time here. They were actually having a service inside so we were careful not to disturb them.
Above: Inside the botanical gardens. I thought this was a really neat map of India made out of plants.
Above: Vendors selling roasted chickpeas, cut pineapple, and other snacks. It smelled really good.
Above and below: Seems like everyone wanted their picture taken with the white people. lol Pretty random to me.
