Bangalore-Ooty-Coonoor (3 days 4 nights)

This trip start by one of my friend told me about wonderful place at the South of India which is called "Ooty". He showed me some pictures about that, and there are very beautiful like the North of Thailand, so this is my first motivation why I decided to go to Ooty. I started by search the information about the tourist attraction places, hotels, and transportation. By the way I have to prepare myself to test Toefl examination on the 12th December. 
There have many ways to go to Ooty such as bus, train, and car; however, I decided to go by bus. The tourist attraction are not only located at Ooty, but there are also located at Coonoor that is far from Ooty around 19 km, and I have to go there by train. Finally, I decided to travel between 17th-21th December which is three days and four nights.
