Cooler , shadier !

As we kept going deeper and higher into the forest and hill, it eventually became this :

And then we reached our place of stay. It was a beautiful little place tucked away in the hill in the forest. We lived in a cottage : 

There was a rivulet running behind the cottage .. down below. The sound of constantly running water was music.

We  cross a rope bridge to go to the restaurant. We have fun shaking ourselves up crazy and trying to make others go off balance ! Fortunately , it was not dangerous ! It was just fun !

Almost always this guy (Flying Malabar Squirrel) joined us for his meal too. It looked like the restaurant staff had befriended him

 On the day we reached, spent almost the entire evening just going around the campus in which we were staying.  We clambered up and down rocks ( I will keep repeating this) 

As you can see, its a beautiful falls. Apparently - this is just little water ! Yet it was so refreshing . We walked upclose to the falls as much as possible. Pretty dangerous place when you actually try to walk due to all the eroded rocks and slippery moss. Yet, son managed to play in the water ! And I managed to get close enought to get sprayed by the falls !

On the way back we decided to go to Pookot lake

It was serene. Good spot to spend a evening.

I decided to spend the rest of the evening / night taking night shots of the place where we stayed. THis is the fountain at the reception area. The lighting makes it look as if its setting the water to fire !

Then the day of on whihc we had to leave dawned ! We had completely enjoyed the three days - eating a lot , enjoying a lot of little moments, sleeping a lot, doing lot of nothings. But we had to go back to the big bad world

I took this photo as we had the parting breakfast ! This is the logo of the place where stayed. And it adorned all dining tables.
