There is so much to write about and yet, I find myself tight on time... about to catch a night bus to Mangalore. Since I visited the tea plantations in Munnar, I've traveled to Cochin, Allepey, Wayanad, and finally here to Mysore. I've been traveling with a core group made up of Ollie (UK), Jana (Australia), Fil (Australia) , Jane (UK). With Dave (NZ) with us until Wayanad. Leo (UK), Nadja & Vibeke (Denmark) and various others joined us for parts of the journey.
In Allepey, seven of us did a two night backwater tour... it's a sort of water canal highway system. I've heard lots of mixed feelings about the overnight boat trip, but along with a great group of people, it's a trip that I will a remember for the rest of my life. Yet... I can see how going with the wrong group of people, or getting a bad boat can ruin your experience. Only photos will show what the trip is like... coming soon?
In Wayanad we stayed at the Varnam Homestay... one of the most genuine homestays I've ever been too. You really feel like you are part of the family. Plus we got to do lots of really amazing hikes and activities such as waterfall climbing and going into bat caves... check out two short video clips... here and here.
I posted some photos on facebook but you have to be a member to see them. Soon I'll post more to flickr.
