March 20, 2011 Kumarakom, Kerala, India

We left Munnar and headed toward the coast. We arrived late in the day, near sunset actually. My wife had found this place and had kept it a surprise. She made me close my eyes as we made our way through the compound. Quite exciting!

The reveal was spectacular! We were right on the water, along one of the many famous backwaters in this part of the country. Most people here live on or near the water and trade and commerce commence daily. This is a must see area. This was on Lake Vembanadu.

Floating rattan boats fill the lake. This is what we are doing next time!

My view off my veranda...not too shabby!

Relaxing on our veranda. This small resort is privately owned and very nice. The owner was very friendly.

Looking North up Lake Vembanadu

India has the best sunsets! Just wait! There are some doozies coming!
Fishing as they have done for thousands of years. Simple and effective.



This is actually early the next morning. We got up almost every day predawn and took a walk and watched the world wake up. Quiet and very relaxing.
