Keralan backwaters under a full moon
Tomorrows challenge is to catch our first train. We have been trying to buy our tickets online for days, but the booking site is rubbish, so we will have to try our luck at the station!
Hamish and I are now in Alappy, 2 hours down south from Kochi. We are here to tour the Keralan backwaters on a converted rice barge house boat. We got a tip from a German couple on a good place to hire a small private boat, complete with captain, driver and chief, and our setup is amazing. It's a public holiday today (Ghandi's birthday) and lots of Indian groups have hired out boats for family gatherings (and what sounds like a lot of karaoke) so the waterways are almost as busy as the roads!
This avo, we putted around palm fringed canals and waterways, and have parked up at a quiet lake for a night under a full moon. Bliss!
