Kerala, India



We left Kovalam and arrived in Allepey, 1 hour south of Kochin in the Kerala region on the west coast. So green and tropical. We boarded a houseboat and wow, so fantastic, the scenery was breathtaking and very relaxing. Caught an amazing sunset and just as amazing sunrise. We had lunch, dinner slept on the boat and had breakfast the next morning. It was spotlessly clean and comfortable and the Captain was cook as well and the food was sensational!

We are now in Kochin where the were alot of European Missionaries, so the are always a few foreigners. Similiar shopping, visited Bazaar Road where all the spices and local markets are. Our hotel is 300 years old, Colonial influence with lots of European wood. There is alot of history here. Watched a traditional Kathkali Dance which was exciting and different. Visited Mikey's cousin, Vernon and his Uncle and meet his lovely family.

Heading back to Trichy today to rest before we head back to Kuala Lumpur on Monday.
