Kerala Backwaters

The Indian state of Kerala is just fantastic - beautiful nature everywhere from mountains to sea. I took a one-night houseboat cruise on the backwaters around Allepey, which was just fantastic - just the captain, the chef, and me! Life here is so interesting, as water serves as the highways (no roads). Kids go to school on a boat, to temple, grocery shopping, a boat ambulance - you name it. People wash clothes, fish and bathe in the water and you lazily cruise by and get to watch everyday life. Oh, and the food on the boat (wow) ... I post more about that later.
