After so much over-stimulation in India (noise, smells, etc.), we decided it was time for a break: Guy decided to head for Thailand, while Jen and Dom went to a South-India beach in the province of Kerala. We found a guesthouse on an isolated stretch of beach with a view of the back waters that Kerala is known for. The only thing we did for that week was some reading, a massage, and take daily sunset strolls on the beach.
We then went 15km south to Fort Cochi, where we spent our last days before leaving India. We did a one day house boating trip through the backwaters where we learned about life of the locals as well as the various vegetation in the area.
Since Fort Cochi is such a nice relaxed town, we also spent some time exploring the area. Jen tried out the Chinese Fishing nets, and we did a cooking class to learn how to make some of the wonderful dishes we've been eating here.
