Back on the traveller trail

Yesterday I went on a Kerala backwater trip.

The tropical scenery around Kochi is breathtaking. The trip involved a houseboat and canoe trip! A couple of pics:







I've been really impressed with Kerala. It certainly seams the most well run region of India. The roads are good, it's clean and tidy and there are little or no slums. It surprised me to realise that the region has been run by the democratically elected Indian Communist Party for the majority of time since independence. Make of that what you will.

It was also the last day in my suite :o( Back to slumming it in a bog standard room...

Today I got my rucksack repaired (bloody baggage handlers roped of one of the support straps!) and then hired a tuk tuk to take me around Fort Cochin.

Nothing else to report other than the fact I'm now addicted to watching the Asian Cup. Sadly India have been hammered in every game...
