Day 31 and off we went to Madikeri Coorg. Lovely drive arriving up a very steep slope through a lovely driveway. We arrived at Coorg Heritage resort. Booked in and a porter came along looking not much younger than us. He grabbed our two large heavy cases, one ruck sack and a separate bag and off he went UPHILL. Another getting fit resort coming up we feel.
Lovely room with a large very high bed. (I can see me with short legs needing a leg up!!). Off we went for the usual investigating stroll UPHILL to find restaurant and pool. What a view from the top which we saw whilst getting our breath back. (Had to do this many times during our stay). Set in a lovely wooded area with “The Taj “ in the mountain opposite. Another lovely hotel in this glorious spot where we had the joy of staying a couple of yrs ago.
The next day took us into town where we were the last of the big spenders buying two loofers and spoon for 60p!!! We did come across a lovely modern coffee shop where the coffee was great. Bought some to take home so good.
Visit to a temple with a Tank of fish (most fish in any tank in India) then to Raj seat. This is where a Raj use to come and sit taking in the view and what a view it is. The gardens were lovely as well.
Next we went to the Fort which us now a short term prison. What a frightening place. Dark, messy, guards with guns etc. It’s also local court rooms so straight out of there to serve your sentence. Told Sajith to behave himself!!!! 😉😎
Next day was Abbey falls another lot of steps 😎😜. Not to much water but good to see. Then Raj tomb plus his wife’s. Big building with just a concrete tomb. Not much really.
Whilst we were staying at this hotel we took in the Coffee plantation visit and we are so glad we did. What a place. Young couple running a organic farm and small home stay called “Magnola Mist”. Abbie Shek was full of knowledge and such a pleasant chap. We learnt so much about all sorts of
crops and watched his dog “pepper” we think playing with a snake. Abbie showed us the oldest Magnola tree in India. When it flowers the perfume can be spelt across the valley.
On the farm were carved out gulleys which we walked up. They were put there by the British Indian army so they could travel on horses through the country side and not be seen. Well we had to buy some more coffee didn’t we?
Sajith’s car now has three bags stored in it. How on earth we will pack it in the case when we leave him will be a task.
Well day 34 arrived and we reluctantly left the Coorg Heritage. Lovely stay with great staff and lovely cats who sat with us in the evening on the veranda.
