KUMILY - MUNNAR 01.12.2008

Last glimpse of the beautiful view over the jungle before leaving Kumily.
We drive to Munnar today.

The scenery all along the way is stunning and we make frequent stops.

Tea plantations make the most of the countryside, it is a wonderful sight.

We stop at several places to see plantation workers picking tea.

It is hard work, under fierce sun and the women carry 20 kg tea leaves on their heads. Jocelyne tries to carry one of those bags and she almost breaks her neck.
