Coonoor

Our second day in Ooty we took the toy train to Coonoor. The toy train takes you on a scenic journey into the hills/tea plantations from Ooty up to Coonoor. The cost? Rps. 3/ a person! Wow! A tourist activity that was beautiful and cheap!

The que for "standing room only" tickets, luckily we got a seat.







To make more room on our seat Annika sat on my lap - she fell asleep 15 minutes into the ride. At least she got a good nap in!


The white figures on the hillside are tea pickers.


One vista point called Dolphin Nose had a horse you could pay to sit on and have your photo taken with.

The kids just enjoyed petting it.

Until the horse stepped on Auggie's foot.

Nice guard rail... watch that first step, it's a doozy!!
