On a nice sojourn

Took off on Friday 23rd and went on a two day trip to Ooty (a hill station) with my parents. We left Coimbatore on Friday morning at 11 am and reached Ooty at 2 in the afternoon. Our visit coincided with the Rain God's visit that afternoon. Incessant rains forced us to stay indoors till 6 in the evening. After that we took a nice saunter and visited Charring Cross. Did some window shopping and called it a day. The next day we hired a cab and visisted the Dodabedda peak, Pykara Dam, Boat house, Brindavan Gardens, Rose Garden and a few picturesque valleys. This took us till almost 3 in the afternoon. We took a lot of snaps and had a real good time visiting these places. The best part of course, being the weather. It was so much of a relief to get out of the heat wave that grasped most part of the South and to enjoy the chilly winds of the Western Ghats. After bidding good bye to our relatives, we started our descend to Cbe the same evening and reached "Home sweet home" by 8 pm on Saturday evening. Sunday was a quiet day and we spent most of the time indoors except for a few hours to see the doctor and buy a pair of shoes for Madhu (my brother). Caught the bus at 10 pm and headed straight to Bangalore. The weekend was truly rejuvenating and it was a much needed break!!
