Back from a long holiday in Kerala

jennyandernie · Feb 2nd, 2008, 01:56

Hi everyone. We are recently back from another long holiday in India. This time we stayed only in Kerela; at Varkala, Kottayam and Cochin.

As keen photographers we have updated our web site with lots of new photographs. If you can spare a few minutes we would like you to take a look.

Golden Isle is also known as 'thuruthu'(which means island in malayalam)locally. If you do make it there, ask the boat guys to take you for a spin around the isle. Its the best way to get a close look at the large number and variety of bird life there.

Beautiful and I love all of the descriptions!

Agatap, the Keralan fishing villages are at Varkala. One is reached by walking along the footpath that runs along the top of North Cliff; the other one is south of North Cliff and we reached it via a short tuk tuk ride. We went there to go out fishing with the fishermen.

nice pics jenny, my favourite was the one with the scaffolding. Its always nice to have an outsider's perspective about home.

A super photograph and made better with the image noise.

Absolutely enchanting.
