Bobby was invited to help a group of young men attempting to film a 3D commercial for BMW. They wanted someone with an English or American accent to be the voice for the commerical which they would shoot in scenic Munnar- tea plantation country. Bobby agreed as long as they covered the cost for the boys and I could come along.
Bobby spent time with them, ironing out the script for a couple of weeks before the shoot. Then we drove four hours out from Kochi. We found some nice places to stop along the way and snap a few pictures.
We found a grassy area next to the river where the boys could get out and wander around for a little bit.

Max chilling on the balcony of the hotel where we stopped to rest. We thought the shoot would happen soon, or at least be close by, but we loaded back up in the car and headed into the hills for another couple of hours.

We passes a bunch of these stands selling things to tourists. None had actual walls. People were walking around with sweaters and jackets tied around their waists. No one warned us that the temperature was about to drop. A lot.
The windy roads made a stunning back drop for the shoot.

Especially with the cultivated tea plants on the hill sides.

We stopped on a mountain top for the final part of the photo shoot. Everyone was hurrying to get done before the rain in those clouds started falling. But, the boys were just so excited to find a grassy place where they could run and roll and play.

They really enjoyed the open space and clean air, even if it was cold. At least until the rain came. Then we hid in the car until they were done with Bobby. A six-hour car ride got us back to our flat very late.
