A herd of buffalos passed by. Some fishing nets and boats. A few guys selling horse back rides and to complete the wonderland; old children’s carnival rides spread around on the beach.

Suddenly, all the noises and chaos from India disappear. Birds whistle and everything around us is calm. In the distance, a farmer herds his cows and greets us with a smile. Going to Munnar was a good idea; we really needed a break from all the craziness...
