OOTY - MUNNAR Ooty road leads steeply down to the plains. Rice fields, temples, mosques and small towns are on our route. In one of these small towns we stopped and watched a rope maker, a stonecutter and a charcoal seller at work. In MUNNAR we needed some time to find the BLACKBERRY HILLS RETREAT & SPA, where we had booked a night. The hotel houses are built on an extremely steep slope. Accordingly steep is the way to reception, restaurant or room. Our room was at the lowest level, and more than 2 stars, I would not be allocated due to the spartan furnishings and bathroom. The restaurant was both in quality and in service, the highlight of the hotel. The view from the restaurant on the tea plantations of the surrounding mountains, indemnified us for some inconvenience. The visit to Echo Point and the Elephant riding on the Mattupetty Dam should be certainly on the program. It is always a special experience, if an elephant with its trunk, takes bananas very gently from the hand, and then eats it with pleasure. Amazing pictures of the tea estates and the diligent workers also impressed in our memory. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OOTY - MUNNAR Steil führt die Straße von Ooty hinunter in die Ebene. Reisfelder, Tempeln, Moscheen und kleine Städte liegen an unserer Route. In einer dieser kleinen Städte machten wir halt und beobachteten einen Seilhersteller, einen Steinmetz und einen Holzkohlenverkäufer bei der Arbeit. In MUNNAR brauchten wir einige Zeit um das BLACKBERRY HILLS RETREAT & SPA, wo wir eine Übernachtung gebucht hatten, zu finden. Die Hotel-Häuser sind an einen extrem steilen Hang gebaut. Dem entsprechend steil ist der Weg zu Rezeption, Restaurant oder Zimmer. Unser Zimmer war auf der untersten Ebene; mehr als 2 Sterne würde ich der spartanischen Einrichtung und dem Badezimmer nicht vergeben. Das Restaurant war sowohl in Qualität als auch im Service, das Highlight des Hotels. Der Ausblick vom Restaurant auf die Teeplantagen der umliegenden Berge entschädigte uns allerdings für einige Unannehmlichkeiten. Der Besuch beim Echo-Point und das Elefanten-Reiten am Mattupetty-Damm sollte jedenfalls am Programm stehen. Es ist immer wieder ein besonderes Erlebnis, wenn dir ein Elefant mit seinem Rüssel die Bananen ganz zart aus der Hand nimmt und diese dann mit Genuss verspeist. Tolle Bilder von den Teeplantagen und den fleißigen Arbeiterinnen prägten sich ebenfalls in unser Gedächtnis ein.
