The only way to see Coonoor was by car. Our plan? Take the train while our driver bring the car by road. No eco-friendly at all but it meant we had wheels. Or we would never had trekked out to the absolutely charming Singara Tea Plantation.
We had expected a guided tour of the grounds and a charming little tea shop where we could have a cuppa and enjoy the view. Alas, all there was was a factory and a little office that was nice enough to sell us some tea direct. We were invited into the Manager's office. You can't imagine how much that felt as if we had been summoned to the Principal's office for misbehaving. We couldn't get out of there fast enough.
It was also here that we met those delightful kids who could teach Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie a thing or two about the simple life.
