Good Day Reader :)
This is in continuation of my previous blog where we had reached Calicut, finished our dinner and had a good sleep after long journey from Waynad to Calicut. It was good drive with an awesome view. We had also spent few minutes at the view point right after you exit Waynad. Also expect some traffic jams on this ghat section.
Once we were ready we checked out from the hotel and not to forget we did lots of shopping for foot ware. It's just a off beat but we actually got good deals there.
Then we started our journey to Ooty. Being in IT industry for last 8 years I have realised that you can have no holiday peacefully. I got a call from office that we had one critical issue in our Live system and it is going to be a financial loss for our client. So that needed to be fixed immediately. During our lunch break on the way to Ooty I was working where rest of my friends were enjoying their delicious meal.
Being the hilly region I was not getting proper signal both in phone as well as for internet. But a big thanks to my team here back in Bangalore they handled it very well and issue was resolved soon. Then we continued our journey again. In between we had couple of breaks for photo session and tea. View was mesmerising.
When we reached Ooty it was already dusk and when we checked in into this beautiful resort - Space 4 Resort it was already dark and temperature was so cold, it was a drastic change for us from Clailut to Ooty. It was around 3-4 degree Celsius.
We got a very good 2 of 2 bedroom and a hall cottages for 8 of us with an awesome view.
we did some shopping in Ooty and had dinner in the resort itself. At night resort had arranged for a bonfire. Dancing around the warm of bonfire in the chilled temperature of Ooty was the highlight of the day.
Then we had some quick snacks and set of to Doddabetta Peak. There was huge traffic jam on the way so we parked our cars halfway and walked till the view point, it was around a 1.5 km trek. But view was worth the effort again.
After Doddabetta Peak, we went to the famous Tea Factory and chocolate factory tour. In the tea factory you can taste various tea samples and do the shopping as well.
It started getting dark, we did not wanted to drive in the night so we went back to resort and spent rest of the evening there.
Next day early morning 4:30 am we started back to Bangalore with sweet cherish able memories.
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Tripping :)

Day 3:
We got up early in the morning and the first thing that we did was Kozhikode beach. It was awesome early in the morning with cool breeze and no crowd. So it was kind of private beach. We spent all our morning there till 11:30 am and had our breakfast on the way back to our hotelOnce we were ready we checked out from the hotel and not to forget we did lots of shopping for foot ware. It's just a off beat but we actually got good deals there.
