Ex-patients and houseboats

Tegan is out of hospital hoorah! Came out Wednesday afternoon....and (touch wood) is feeling back to normal.

Went on a lovely boat trip yesterday along the backwater canals; a house boat in the morning and a row boat in the afternoon.

Tomorrow we're heading to Ooty; stopping for the night in Mettupalayam on the way (for those who are interested in checking the map!). We'll get the early morning miniature railway train to Ooty on Sunday morning which takes about 4 hours as it's such a windy, steep journey...although distance-wise it's probably only about 5 miles (OK, maybe slight exaggeration).

So it looks like we'll be in Ooty for Christmas and are hoping to be taking a leisurely walk through the hills on the day (or maybe a horseride)! It's going to be a lot cooler in Ooty, down to zero at night maybe, and I have to say we're both quite excited about the prospect of being a little bit chilly for a few days after 2 weeks of heat and humidity.

After Ooty, we're heading Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary and plan to stay in the 'Jungle Retreat'...cant wait!

Sounds like good idea to give Goa a miss - I've just read that in the interests of safety, from 23 December to 5 January all beach parties in Goa (which are a popular attraction for tourists there!)are banned. Much better off in a jungle retreat! Mxx
