Yet another week of struggling with our rucksacks ...


08/02/07 - Kollam & Cruising
The view from our hotel window in Kollam
Hiring our own boat and chugging through the tropical backwaters of Kerala - that's what budget travelling is all about ...
Not a very big boat, but it had lots of charm
and it was very relaxing

09/02/07 - Cruising & En Route
We sleep on the boat, and see local fishermen setting off at dawn
The whole thing is terribly photogenic
Oh, it's a hard life ...

10/02/07 - Cochin
Communist fishermen off Fort Cochin
And no trip to Kerala would be complete without a Kathakali performance
... stop me if you've seen this one

11/02/07 - Trichy
The rock fort (mostly temple) in Trichy (or Tiruchirappalli)
Inside one of the other temples for which Trichy is famous

12/02/07 - Chennai (Madras)
A small, cozy and colourful temple in Chennai

13/02/07 - Chennai (Madras)
And the church above (supposedly) Thomas's tomb - that's our patron saint, since we got married on his day

14/02/07 - En Route
