Our lil retreat was right in the middle of tea gardens..about an acre big and teeming with birds!! So AJ was super thrilled with his choice and spent all day clicking pics of his winged subjects!! I spent most of the day watching the birds or reading a book on the terrace from where the view was spectacular. The weather was awesome, the skies were just breaking into a mild drizzle making the already green landscape look even greener! Having come form the scorching heat in chennai this truly felt like a bit of heaven that we had landed in.
The cook on the premise also fried some yummy onion pakoras and served it with some piping hot ginger tea... siiigghhh!! I just didn't want this moment to pass! :) We spent the afternoon in the resprt itself, this was to be our only day by ourselves. tomorrow our good friends Shyam & Hamsa were driving down from bangalore to join us for the remainder of the trip! I couldn't wait to have them join us...in the last couple of years it has almost become a habit for the four of us to take holidays together..their moving to Bangalore has mandated that unless we vacation together we hardly get to meet!!!
By the end of the day AJ had already sighted 15 different species of birds in the retreat itself!! The retreat had a small stream running thru it..but the access to the stream was marred by the construction work that was ongoing. So i remained perched on the terrace the whole day!
