Pictures from Ooty - Round 3

Last batch of photos!

Ultime foto di Ooty!

The first group of photos is from a little family walk, only the four of us. We saw the train coming out of the tunnel down in the valley and that cheered up Rajiv who had woken up from his nap very pessimistic about life.

Le prime foto sono di una breve passeggiata con solo noi quattro. Con la partecipazione straordinaria del treno che esce dal tunnel! Ovviamente Appu era al settimo cielo.







Papa' is walking Rohan to sleep.

Papa' mette Rohan a dormire.



Bubbles early in the morning.

Bolle di sapone la mattina presto.







And then we run (literally) to have breakfast.

E poi di corsa a fare colazione.




Later, we ride on the little toy train - you have seen the video already.

Il trenino - quello del video.





Just before leaving: Appu with his "ouch" taking gardening lessons.

Appu e' caduto poco prima di partire. Per consolarlo, gentilmente il giardiniere gli ha fatto vedere come si innaffiano i fiori.


And to conclude, a couple of experimental shots with Rohan.

E per concludere, un paio di foto "artistiche" con Rohan, sempre disponibile a fare da modello.

Le ultimissime dal cantiere

Interrompiamo la serie di foto di Ooty per mostrare qualche foto dei progressi nel nostro nuovo sudatissimo appartamento.

Construction site update.

The tile work is almost over. When we went yesterday two teams of layers where working on the tiny tiles of the bathroom floors (to prevent slipping, in case you are wondering).

The balcony is done, except grouting.

Piastrelle del balcone.



The kitchen is mostly done too. In case you are wondering about the two colours, the white tiles will be covered by the cabinets and only the other ones will be visible. It looks better in real life, I promise.

La cucina. (Le piastrelle bianche saranno coperte dai mobili e rimarranno invisibili)


The main hall and the bedrooms are done as well, but they where covered with plastic sheets so I couldn't take pictures. The only glimpse you can get is in this photo below. And you will also notice that, even though the work is proceeding decently, someone is not happy... :)

Questa e' la camera dei bambini, le altre stanze purtroppo avevano il pavimento coperto per proteggerlo e quindi niente foto. Tra l'altro, per la precisione, l'altra persona nella foto e' un collega, non un piastrellista. :)

Pictures from Ooty - Round 2

Sunday trip to the park:





Then Monday is B-day. We start the day blowing bubbles in front of the hotel (What a view!). After cake and breakfast Rajiv and Jayadev open their presents: matching sunglasses! Then we are off to the botanical garden.
