Later
We followed the road to find the start of the trek to Robinson falls but walked straight past the entrance. Eventually, we realised our mistake and turned around. We crossed a small bridge and past an animal park for children.
The path of what was left of it took us through fairly dense jungle on both sides but there was a nice opening as we reached the falls. The falls were quite pretty and there was plenty of water flowing down the stream.
After the falls we followed a local, older couple along the path. They eventually came to a stop as a big tree lay across the route. They turned around and told us to we could try and continue but they were not sure how far we could get.
We climbed over the tree, in fact we climbed over a lot of trees. We took care not to trip over roots, slip in the mud, fall down th collapsing bank and get bitten by all the bugs. The path got harder to follow but eventually we got closer to the end. We could see where we needed to be but couldn't figure out how to get down. We took a route along side a fence made of netting next to a farm. We made it to the road but not along the real path. Apparently, the real path was super steep and very slippy. There were ropes to climb and it was a little difficult. It appears that are option was slightly easier using the net fence as support.
We met an English couple who kept their sailing boat in Poole. We talked a lot and they gave us a lift to the Both tea plantation and eventually back to our hotel. It turned out that this wasn't the tea plantation we were expecting. It was smaller and there was two Boh plantations.
We ate at the Indian restaurant and tried their uttapam which is like a dosa with toppings. The unusual thing about ours was there were no toppings! Any way it was good but basically a dosa. We went back to the hotel, drank coffee and were kindly invited to join the owners for dinner again! The owners are from Bangladesh and they run cooking classes. They cook the most delicious food!
Before dinner we had a short walk around Tanah Rata. After dinner, we slept!
