The estate visit

An early morning walk in the estate is the most pleasurable exercise you can have. Having stayed in the estate, everyone, in batches, roamed around the estate. While some hunted for specific species of plants, Arya showed everyone the pepper vines. By 10.10, we had finished a tasty “Shavige Bath” for breakfast and were ready to leave to a tea estate nearby. Suni joined us to lead. The tea estates spanned the hillocks on either side. But when we alighted, we came to know we were at the wrong estate. Immediately, we set-off to the right location, which was another 5 Kms away.












Once there, we were being joined by the factory manager named Mr. Vishwanath. He provided us with a detailed explanation about the processing of tea from the tea leaves. Subbanna tata, Mohana mava and ATK dodappa had a lot of queries, got them cleared. We then went to the tea estate. Got some photos clicked and returned back to Seetur. It was already 12.55, and we straight away had lunch. Our idea was to leave by 2. But, again, like the day before, once the food was served, we knew it would not be so. With all the sweets in between, we managed to wrap up the lunch program and finally leave Seetur by 3.15
