Ferg
Had 2 days in Ooty, which has an altitude of 2200m with the temperature dropping from mid 30's in Thrissur to cold!
The highlight being a trip on the Nilgris Blue Mountain Railway (toy train) it climbs the mountain at a very slow speed with the views being spectacular. The tiny stations where it stops has old fashioned station masters and wonderfully decorated platforms, it's like going back in time 100 years.
Ooty is a hill station town and was quite small, a huge British influence the main area being called charing cross and some grand colonial buildings.
Been to fab places but some of the most magical moments are talking to complete strangers all of whom are so happy to see you and appear nothing but happy.
