Chilling Out in the Kerala Backwaters Before Moving On To Bangalore
Posted On Saturday, January 15, 2005 at at 12:15 AM by AlvinWe had one of the most relaxing days of our trip in India when we just cruised around the backwaters in Kerala. The boatmen doubled up as magnificent chefs as they churned out plates of South Indian classic dishes. We based ourselves at the lovely fishing port of Kochi for a few days before boarding the characteristic Indian "cruise" near a town called Alleppey. Pure relaxation ! That was exactly what we needed before the hustle and bustle of Bangalore - the I.T. city of India where we found the city to be clean and efficient.
