...The moment we stepped into the factory, all we could see were large and complex machinery being put through the gears. We went sightseeing around the factory for a few minutes before the tour started. There was only one worker in the work area packaging the processed tea leaves at the end of the manufacturing line. We gathered back to the entrance to follow the factory tour. The manager of the facility was our tour leader. We went around to each machine with the manager explaining the use of each machine. The plucked tea leaves would be sent into a vacuum that would dry and transport the leaves to a rolling machine that would roll the tea leaves. After that, the tea leaves would be dried and packaged. It was a new and cool experience to learn how our famous sachet packets of tea leaves are made.
After the tour, decided to hike our way up one of the hills to get to the vantage point. As we were about to start, we met with the friendly dog once again. This time, it was accompanying a family up the hill. It casually made its way up the hill while the family and my parents were gasping for air. I decided to make my way up the hill first and let my parents take their time to climb up the hill. When I got there, the friendly dog was already up there and was seating casually under the shade. The scenery from the vantage point was just breathtaking. I could see the whole valley and hills covered with tea plants. It looked as if it was just a painting. I decided to take a couple of pictures of the scenery as a memory of the place. My parents finally made it up the hill after I was done taking pictures. They were also amazed by the dog and also the beautiful scenery. We decided to take a family photo up on a gigantic rock accompanied by the hills in the background. To our amazement, the friendly guide dog rushed to my mother's side and decided to be in the picture as well.
After we took pictures and admired the beautiful and stunning scenery, it was about time that we got back down the hill. As we were on our way down the hill, the friendly guide dog passed by us and followed us down the hill. I went on ahead first as my parents had to take their time getting down the hill. Just after a couple of steps down the hill, they were gasping for air. The friendly dog was slowly leading my parents down the path. After I got back down, I went to refresh myself and washed up in the washroom. In the washroom, I spotted a rare shiny bluish gecko stuck on the wall. It was really an extraordinary creature measuring at about 6 inches long. After taking a picture of it, my parents finally made it back down accompanied by the friendly dog after a good 15 minutes of waiting. My parents looked extremely exhausted but the friendly guide dog still seemed energetic and happy as ever...
