India: In the mountains of Munnar, Kerala

From Goa, Shama and I traveled to Munnar, Kerala. We passed some random waterfalls along the way. We had quite an adventure getting to our cottage/hotel in Munnar. We thought we had a 4 hour ride but our hotel ended up being over two hours past the city of Munnar in the middle of nowhere in the mountains. It was quite a scary experience and we were so happy to make it to the hotel after the last stretch of broken road in a random worker's jeep in the pitch dark! Check out what we did once we went back to Munnar!
