A trip to Munnar

I was shivering when I was waiting for the coffee I ordered. The long trip from Kochi had made me tired. I thought how excited I was yesterday . It was my first trip to Munnar. Even though I had heard it was cold here , I never expected it to be so cold. I had had my breakfast on the way. We had departed from the house so early. I was going with my uncle and aunt, who were frequent visitors to Munnar. They had been inviting us to accompany them for a long time. We arrived Munnar by 12 noon and had our lunch. We rested till evening. We had planned to visit the town during the evening. When it was evening I ordered a coffee and as I told earlier I was waiting for it. After having our tea, we started off to town. We went there on foot. As I eetered the town the atmospheric temerature suddenly rose up. I realised that that urbanisation is destroying Munnar. The place was crowdy. I could see some tamilians also. "Oh! Munnar is in the boarder of Kerala." I thought. We made some purchases. We were back by 7 o'clock to 'Elssyim gardens were we were staying.
The next we got up at 5 o'clock. I usually gets up 7 o'clock. So it was so difficult me to get up at 5. But when I thought of the sights I was going to see at Munnar I wa sonly happy to get up. We had planned to go to Iravikulam national park which is famous for 'varayadukal'(malayalam). When we reached there we were informed that inorder to get into the sanctuary we have to get into a bus which will be there every 15 minutes. Each bus can accomodate 15 people. We saw that the queue was a very long one. So we thought that we should cancel that plan. So we started of to 'Mattupetty'.
