We did quite a bit of planning and organising today. Then later in the afternoon we went for a walk, we went left down to the beach and round to see where it goes. We walked all the way around which seemed to be a little part of town with a few shops, a temple and lots of tuk tuks. Unfortunately we saw one of the worst sights of the holiday so far, a cat had been knocked down by a car and looked dead which was a horrendous sight to start with but as we walked pas...

We had arranged to have breakfast this morning at 9.00am. We were up and sat outside before this watching the boats going back. The manager came to our room and asked if we'd like to go on a morning walk through their small farm/garden. We went with her, they grow a lot of their own produce which they cook their meals with. They had all sorts but the one I was most impressed with was their pineapple plant which had a pretty big pineapple growing on it, they just ...

We had asked last night if we could have eggs and toast for breakfast this morning so when we got up we went to have it. He had also put out some traditional breakfast items, steamed rice cakes and curry. I like a curry but I do have to draw the line at having it for breakfast, James did try a little of it though. He said it was spicy and he wished he hadn't! When he said to the guy that it was spicy he just laughed at him! After breakfast we slowly got our thing...

This morning the two guys started getting the boat ready at 6.00am, we got up and went out on deck at about 7.30am. It was a lovely morning, we saw lots of birds including a Kingfisher, we had breakfast while we were on the move. When it got to about 8.00am we started seeing all the different houseboats making their way back to Alleppey all for 9.00am. Again we were back in the convoy of boats and this time trying to find a parking space and another boat to tie o...

We had to have our things ready for 11.00am this morning when we would be taken by Anzi the guy from the home stay to the house boat. James went to the post office but unfortunately couldn't get the parcel posted because they were on strike! Oh well we would just post it at the next opportunity. At 11.00am we waited downstairs while Anzi sorted a tuk tuk to take us to the boat. He asked if we wanted beers on the boat, if so the tuk tuk driver would stop at the sh...
