Hi Everybody!
From Fort Cochin we took a cab to Alleppey. Alleppey is known for its canals that you can take boats onto. We took a house boat to tour the canals. The house boats are really nice. Ours had a full size bedroom, a kitchen, and an open air living\dining room with a tv. Some house boats can be giant with restaurant-sized dining rooms and five full size bedrooms! A crew of three pilot the boat and cook all your meals for you. (They taste really good.) Most people spend the night on their boat, but we just spent the day. The canals were beautiful and you could see people’s houses and how they lived. We also passed a ton of rice paddies.
We then left to Varkula (where we are now). Varkula has a beautiful beach along the Arabian Sea, but instead of having a boardwalk there is a cliff lined with shops. The water is perfect and is awesome for boogie boarding. Colin won’t eat any Indian food so we are fattening him up at a restaurant that sells reeeaaaally good milk shakes. We spend most of our time on the beach (except for Mom who hates all things beach and spends most of her time walking along the cliff or in our air-conditioned hotel room).
I will try to post soon. (I know I say that every time and never do, but I’m sure this time will be different.) Please comment, though I know some of you are having trouble doing so.
Good bye

Why does your Mom hate all things beach? The houseboat sounds really cool!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you Madeleine! It sounds like you're having a great time. Glad to hear that Colin is getting some milkshakes.

Trixie here. PSSA TESTING IS OVER!!!! I'm so happy! Tonight at the dinner table we were talking about how Asia and Europe are the same land mass. Someone said if you drove all the way across both continents, you would need to pack a lot of food. Micah said (and I quote),"is that because you don't like chinese food?" It was sweet and funny (for the first time in his life). It sounds like Colin would need that food. I don't understand. Indian food is amazing! I also would have loved to be on that boat too. I've never been on a house boat. Did you take pictures?(yes I'm going to ask that every time so the answer better be yes) I wish I was swimming with you instead of in the Penn charter pool. It's FREEZING!!!!!
