coorg...hmmm....yeah...okay

coorg was all about fasting and feasting......Got a taste of the kodava hospitality and I must admit I was floored. I had a number of complaints the day we reached. I disliked the accomodation , the landscape around, the rains  and was generally dissatisfied with everything around. And yet, the day we were leaving I found myself scribbling " Great food, warm hosts...couldnt have asked for more!" on their comments book.
I find it hard to decide which I like more: lazing around or wandering around.........probably a bit of both. And that is precisely what this trip was all about.
The locals seem to have a fast forward sense of distance. If they say Virajpet is half an hour away, it is surely at least an hour and a half away. And lo behold if they assure you of a short one hour morning drive, rest peacefully for you will not reach there before noon. Not that one minds these long drives in Coorg, as it is truly a pleasure to serenade the greenery and hum along with the pitter patter of the rains splashing on the windscreen.
