A day with the etuktuk

It was a partly cloudy day and we were afraid that rain would interfere with our journey. We had planned several visits to nearby locations in the etuktuk. Our first destination was to a daycare center located in a nearby tea estate. Estate people leave their children in this day care centre when they go to work during the day. The center is located about 1 kilometer towards ‘Galatha’ area from Mavathura town, approximately 2 kilometers from the Kothmale CMC. The terrain is a hilly area covered with tea plantations.
We got there at around 10.30am and the estate superintendent and the matrons welcomed us warmly. The etuktuk was accompanied by a van and we were able to take two station announcers, researcher, computer trainer, and a local photographer with us. Normally the tuktuk alone could house only three persons including the driver. But occasionally it can be expanded to 4 people with some discomfort.
