Nice pictures. I will be visiting kerala in december when I go to India.looking forward to that.
It's really god's own country. I simply loved Aleppy and the boatride. Did you guys stay over on the houseboat?
Kerala has been on my places-to-go list for ages. Even planned couple of times and somehow it got shot down. Maybe next year..
Lovely pic and lucky you!
starry/ choxbox- yes u must visit
no fuzzy- went on work and only a day trip at that
You were in my home town but surprisingly I have never been on those house boats all these years we have been vacationing there.
