... screen full of satellite images with topographical lines of varying colours.By placing on some fancy 3D specs, the screen came alive and became 3 dimensional - amazing what computers can do... Also saw some complicated blueprints that were the size of a huge desk, which dad would have loved to get a good look at. Saw the printer that produced them too - perhaps 2m in diameter. Some size!

Whenever we will look back on this holiday we will remember the helpful people and the lovely weather we encountered at Kodi. We will also remember to plan holidays when fellow holiday makers are either at home or going somewhere else! By the way I wonder how bad was it in Ooty during the Independence Day Weekend!
