Today we moved on from Ooty via Kotagiri still in the hills, this was a place my parents visited in 1950 while they lived in Madras. Then we dropped down 2000 metres to the valley below and had a long drive to Combiatore. Apparently Combiatore is the second largest city in Tamil Nadu and it was a place I had not previously come across which is amazing considering how large a city it is. The drive took best part of 4 hours to reach our destination.
