Monkeying around in Munnar

This morning we left early to travel to Munnar.  On our way we stopped at Marayoor Tribal Mission which is run by sisters Jansi and Freeda. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a mission run to teach and look after 60 children aged from 8 to 18.  These children are from the tribal areas in the surrounding mountains.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We travelled through some beautiful scenery on the way to Munnar and we even saw a few monkeys.  We had to keep the windows up in the car incase they jumped in.  We passed by a lot of children who shouted and waved saying “hello, how are you?”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The weather was really nice and sunny but the further up the mountain we got it became more like Scotland, cold and raining.

Tomorrow we are going elephant riding and also on the speed boat to try and catch a glimpse for the wild elephants
