Did you drive towards Avalanchi and Emerald lakes? Also did you pass by the Good Sheperd Residential school?
The panorama there is very nice.

TaureanBull · 19th July 2010, 20:32

I had been to Ooty lake last year. Did not see many people there. But the ride was pleasant. I did not notice this train though. Where was this area with respect to the entrance gate?

TB. It was on right hand side of the boat house entrance. To be precise, it was near the exit point of the boat house.

@ampere. No, we didn't visit those lakes and school.

Day 12 Ooty sigt-seeing pics continuing..

Children's park and Views onway to Conoor.

ampere · 20th July 2010, 21:24

Next time take the train at Ooty. Its a must.

LDL your story is not progressing fast. What happened? Looks like it also got stuck in the monsoon?

Dont make us wait! Keep them coming.

Your girlie is enjoying the trip thoroughly. Next time you pass by Bangalore, your girlie must meet my PPGs mandatorily

Gansan · 21st July 2010, 07:17

Good going LDL! Nice pics and write up! I have located the Pamban rail bridge video and told junior to upload it to youtube. Hopefully I can post it here this evening.

Thanks laluks. Will meet sure whenever we revisit BLR. Yes, she enjoyed thoroughly whenever we were in open, I mean out of vehicle.

Thanks ampere and Gansan. Yes, am finding it difficult to be on the same pace with the story due to workload, but shall pick-up soon. Getting home system rectified in couple of days. Then things will move fast.

Till then more pics..

Day 12 Ooty sigt-seeing pics continuing..
Views at Lamb's Rock View point

PS: Last but 1&2 pics are from children's park and Onway to Conoor, respectively. Got posted by mistake. Sorry.

Hi LDL,

The pics are really good. Liked the one with your daughter in the Tea Estate. Masha Allah, she is really cute.

MX6 · 21st July 2010, 11:17

The 4th photograph from top is terrific LDL. And your daughter seems to break in to Kathak in hills, valleys, boats etc. And your son is cute too! let him not be left out.

KRRaj · 21st July 2010, 12:15

Nice pictures. I stopped at the very same point for Lamb's rock when I went to Ooty a couple of months back

. More mist/fog this time though.

LongDrive lover · 21st July 2010, 18:53

Well said MX. In fact if you see all the snaps, its he who holding her and taking her around. LDL is just the chauffeur! What say you LDL?

Junior reports that the Pamban bridge video failed to upload to Youtube. May be it is too long and needs to be edited. I will attend to it during the weekend.

The restriction is for time. No video which is more than 10 minutes long. I fell into that trap last week.
