Anu & I made a short trip from Mumbai to Coimbatore to goto Munnar. It is 130 km east of Kochi and borders the state of Tamil Nadu. Munnar is about 6 hours road journey from Coimbatore, TN and is famous as a hill resort and for its tea gardens and lush green tea estates. We had barely reached and settled down when on the second day I had a minor fall but and injury causing a chip & a hairline fracture to my left ankle area.
