BACKWATERS - 27.11.2008

We are leaving our nice guesthouse today.



Through the guesthouse, we have booked a houseboat for 24 hours.
So we'll be able to enjoy life on the Backwaters for a longer time than just a day cruise.


The boat is quite nice, but the rooms are a bit smelly. Not very airy in there.


The front of the boat is fairly large and we can sit and enjoy...

Dinner is very nice. .

We can spot a beautiful cockroach in the bathroom, it has the size of a small soap.

.
As there is an upper deck, we can have great views over the flat surroundings.

Flocks of ducks...

Yummy fried bananas...
Even tractors are put on boats to cross the waters.

Rice fields and cows...

Many churches all along the way, Kerala is a state where there is a large number of Christians. They represent about 20-25 % of the population in Kerala.
