“Hurry causes worry so go slow” says the motto of Kerala or rather signs on the local roads but we treated this tip seriously. In the past few days we were both quite weak after food poison or anti-malaria medicine’s side effects (or both) but we had so much fun anyway.
We took a train from Goa to Kerala. Try to imagine the whole India squeezed in a box. Easy? Noise, dirt, bad smell, music, children, beggars, vendors of every single thing you don’t need, from tchai, tchai, tchai, coffee, coffee, coffee (the most annoying song that echoed during the whole journey) to plastic lizard toys, beach balls, towels etc, this is an Indian train. So we took the train to Kerala, visited Fort Kochi and saw the famous Chinese fishing nets and then we headed south to the backwaters.
The backwaters of Kerala are often compared to Venice (mind you, Udaipur is called like this as well) just because the area is full of canals. We took a little boat trip (not a houseboat which was too expensive and perfect for a honeymoon perhaps) through the small canals which gave us the opportunity to observe some wildlife but also to see the local people daily life. Everything seemed so quiet and peaceful; we were both amazed by the shades of green that surrounded us through the whole trip.
Now we are in Varkala, spending our last days at the beach and looking at the sea from the cliff.
