Picture Perfect Kerala: Part 2

The post continues from here.

Destination 2: Allepey

From the hillstation, we headed to the backwaters. Water, water everywhere (there was enough to drink as well ;)), in fact there was no direct road linkage to the resort we were staying in. They had boats to travel from the resort to a pick up point. The resort, 'Lake Heavens', was a wonderful place to stay at. It was a reasonably big property with lots of greenery and some interesting residents :)

We also had booked a houseboat for a day. Although the view from the houseboat was breath-taking, it stayed still for most of the time as against our expectation and hence was a little disappointing! But you still can't miss it because of the picturesque beauty it lets you experience!

We also visited the Allepey beach nearby.

Destination 3: Kochi

We took a tour of the city and the Chinese net at Fort Kochi offered the most spectacular view. Each structure is at least 10 m high and comprises a cantilever with an outstretched net suspended over the sea and large stones suspended from ropes as counterweights at the other end. Each installation is operated by a team of up to six fishermen.

Take a look yourself. Again, most but not all pictures are taken by me here. It was rather a family venture :) I hope you don't get tired scrolling. Check out the Allepey bus-stop and school-bus..
