About to board the local bus from Kumily to the Kerala Backwaters
The crew are all aboard
We arrive at the Backwaters and board our ferry for the trip
V enjoying some fresh air on another scorching day!
The Backwaters are made up of multiple canals linking 5 large lakes
Enjoying the amazing scenery from the top deck
Some of the locals carrying out their daily tasks on the canals
Greg and I have a chess challenge below deck
One of the many house boats cruising this area
Arriving with our bags at the train station after our enjoyable ferry trip
Another adventure on a packed Indian train
A stunning sunset on our train trip
Watching movies on the laptop to pass timeVARKALA
A new day and our cute resort in Varkala
One of the local beaches near our resort
Beautiful beaches and water
The main pathway along the coast, packed with bars and restaurants
And what a stunning view
A Fish Eagle on the hunt
We tuck into lunch and enjoy the view
And what a view!
Late afternoon and V hits the hammock!
This is the main beach in Varkala, one of our favourites!
Leise and I enjoying the sunset
A quick beer while waiting for the girls
A beautiful end to the day
The girls arrive and its dinner time
Our chicken being prepared in the Tandoor oven
Shandy, V and Lara are ready to eat!
Our farewell dinner with Greg and Shandy who leave in the morning
The locals out fishing and picking mussels
V and I about to hit this amazing beach
The climb down to the beach
The only negative thing about Varkala - the litter!
Setting up camp on the beach
Leise and V enjoy another sunset in Varkala
Our final dinner and we return for the Tandoor feast!
The food is outstanding!
Checking out and leaving Varkala
Heading to Varkala train station - this is very traditional dress in this part of India, no trousers or shorts!
Scary signs in the middle of nowhere
Lara and V head to the platform
We arrive at Trivandrum for our flight to Mumbai and our departure from India
