We consider ourselves very lucky to be able to make new friends so easily. Maybe there is a lot that humans can learn from bears (our thought for the day). We rate India as one of the top places for making friends, as we shall say in the Friendly Planet Guide when we publish it.
You've already met some of our new friends, but there are two more we simply must introduce as they played such an important role in making our holiday so fantastic. Here we are with Baby Matthews and his wife Rani who kindly allow people to stay at their amazing plantation, Vanilla County, beautifully situated in the hills of the Western Ghats.
From the moment we arrived we were treated like royalty. We had glasses of delicious fresh grape juice awaiting us which we enjoyed on the verandah. The accommodation was so good that it warrants a separate blog entry (logon tomorrow) and Rani's cooking was out of this world - we hadn't been expecting to put on weight in India but you can't stay at Vanilla County and not eat lots! There were also loads of things to do - you'll have to stay with us for the next few days to find out more.
To whet your appetite you can check out www.vanillacounty.in
Love George & Yorkie
P.S. we're having curry for tea!
