Short Ooty captions

For a quick hill photo.

Queen of the Nilgiris.
Nilgiris, in a nutshell.
Green, cool and calm.
Eucalyptus and easy days.
A chill in the air, a smile on my face.
Mist on the window.
Slow train, high hopes.
Blue mountains, blue mood.
Ooty, unwinding.
Woollens on, worries off.
A hill station in full colour.

Ooty captions on Instagram: the toy train and the town

For the Nilgiri Mountain Railway and the old town.

The Nilgiri Mountain Railway puffs through tunnels and tea.
We chugged up the hills and the world turned green.
A blue train on a green slope.
The whistle echoed in the valley.
Coonoor station was a painting with a steam train.
Window seat, hot chai and endless hills.
The old Ooty market smells of spice and sweaters.
A bakery with a wooden door and a wonderful aroma.
Bikes, bells and a bus climbing the lane.
I counted curves until I fell asleep on the hill road.
A slow ride is the best way up.

Lake, garden and viewpoint captions

For Ooty Lake, the Botanical Garden and Doddabetta.

Boating on Ooty Lake, pedalling in circles.
The Botanical Garden had a flower for every mood.
Doddabetta gave us a view of the whole Nilgiri range.
The rose garden was a festival of petals.
Pykara Lake was quiet and deep blue.
A horse, a hill and a sunset.
Mist rose from the lake as we rowed.
We walked under tall trees and forgot the time.
From the peak, the clouds looked like a sea.
Ferns, flowers and a bench for everyone.
Wet grass, bright sky and a good view.

Tea, chocolate and food captions

For the Nilgiri tea, homemade chocolate and the pastries.

Nilgiri tea has a light taste and a bright colour.
Homemade chocolate in every shop window.
We tasted tea at the factory and bought too many packets.
Varkey biscuits with hot tea: a small luxury.
Steaming idli and sambar on a cold morning.
A cold evening needs a soup, a bun and a warm shawl.
The bakery sold out of plum cake by ten.
A cup of tea on a hill, and I'm set.
Fresh strawberries and cream on a cold day.
Hot bajji while it rained outside.
Spiced tea from a stall on the roadside.

Flowers look fresh and the crowd is small. Midday sun flattens the colours.
Carry a warm layer
