Ech corim ze b'ivrit

For the last three days I've been as close to Israel as is possible from the middle of India. The cramped little room we all squeezed into the first night in Munnar was ditched as we moved up to a 'special' group room with 4 beds, 2 toilets, a shower and 47 channels.

The whole apartment block/hotel soon became full of Israeli. We all had breakfast together, fried eggs, toast, jam, coffee and plenty of salt. I feel so at home. Not only are they all hairy like me, but they love salt and salty stuff.

Israelis are such a social group of people, they share food, cigarettes and travel tips. It's like a big kibbutz, door are left open, music blares through the hallways (Israeli music of course) and smoke wafts everywhere.

In Munnar we all piled into a tuk-tuk and put-putted around the winding hills and plantations visitng waterfalls and just absorbing the amazing views and the smell of a thousand tea trees.

Today Ravid and I left Adi and Assaf and headed back on the white knuckle express (4.5 hours of hell) and got into Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary.
