This morning Vera and I got up bright and early at the crack of dawn to hike to the Vattakanal Cliffs, the pride and joy of Kodaikanal. These cliffs boast the most beautiful view in the town, but if you get there later then 7 am, they will have already clouded over and the view is lost.
Lucky for us, the view this morning was absolutely breathtaking! As I sat at the edge of the cliffs, taking in the beauty of the mountains, a large troupe of monkeys suddenly came wandering up and starting hanging out near me. Some were napping or eating, others were play-fighting or grooming each other. It was one of the coolest experiences I have ever had!

| The "winter line", it has something to do with inversion...obviously I must not have been paying attention during that Meteorology class. |
 |
| View of the plains, far in the distance. |
 |
| Mountains and valleys. |
 |
| The monkeys arrive. They are all straining to get a look at Max the dog, an intimidating rottweiler. |
 |
| Chilling with the monkeys. Vera now refers to me as Jane Goodall. |
 |
| Having a snack. |
 |
| Just doing what monkey's do. |
