We took a day to get out of the city with some friends a few weeks ago to a place called Thenmala. The name means honey mountain. We didn't see many bees, but we saw lots of other interesting creatures.
 |
| These giant flowers were on the side of the road, where we had to stop because we were all getting car sick from the winding road. |
 |
| The lake at Thenmala. Just over this wall was a HUGE snake, maybe a constrictor, but I couldn't get a good picture of it. You'll just have to believe me! |
 |
| Paddling a teacup isn't an easy thing. |
 |
| We were environmentally friendly and threw our trash in the waste basket. Then this monkey took it out and ran up a tree with it. |
 |
| A snack break along our hike. We had to walk under this mother with babies crawling all over her to continue on our trail. |
 |
| This waterfall was a short drive from Thenmala. "Bathing" was allowed at the bottom of the falls, where men stripped down to their skivvies while women bathed in their Salwar Kameez or even full burka and veil. |

Some not-so-wild monkeys. The ice cream man said he gives more food to the monkeys than to people.
