The south of India is turning out to be exactly what we hoped - relaxing and restful, before we depart for home in a few days. The most exhertion I have had in the last week is reaching for a cool drink.
Our trip along the backwaters of Kerala was spectacular - a standout Indian experience. We were able to get a taste of village life (from the luxury of our boat) and a taste for the delicious Kerelan food, prepared by our onboard cook (below with the captain). It was the most delicious food we have had throughout India!
From the boat we spotted a couple of turtles, some Kingfishers (also drank a few), a snake slithering through the water, and some snake boat racing.
All along the banks, the women were out slapping their washing onto big stones to get it clean.
And how's this for a cheesy sunset!:
Now we are in Varkala, a beachside town. I had my first massage yesterday, and apparently I need to come every day while we are here. I have a feeling my masseuse might say that to everyone, however, I'm not one to disobey! There's not a lot of beach, and strong currents in the sea, but it is nice not doing much. This morning we watched the fisherman bring in their catch. Now I might go and read my book on the beach. We're certainly doing it tough.
