The Beautiful Backwaters of India – Video
Enjoy this video of our Backwater Houseboat tour in Kerala India. For 24 hours we had our own private boat, chef and tour of the Backwaters of Aleppey. Nothing gives you a first hand view of travel like a video.
Ayurvedic Massage and Indian Bath in Alleppey
I learned how to shower like a true Indian today. How you ask? Because I had a woman bathe me!
It all started when we arrived at Palmy Lake Resort after our houseboat tour. Once we settled into our spacious bamboo bungalow, Marcy the owner asked us if we would be interested in a massage.
Dave and I love massages, but it seemed way too early in our trip to have a massage. We normally treat ourselves to one after we have been suffering for some time.
Travel and Dealing with the Little Things.
It never fails. Dave and I never have smooth travels. Everyone else seems to hop on busses and trains with ease, catch their taxis without fail and be on their way in an instant. Not us. Now I am not complaining, our problems are always very trivial and everything always seems to work out, but we tend to get there the hard way. Here is a list of what went wrong on our first excursion in India and then how they rectified themselves.
Our Houseboat Backwater Tour of Alleppey
We had read that the backwater tour was a must when visiting Kerala. According to The Lonely Planet It may be one of the most expensive things that you do in India, but it is well worth it. So naturally, we booked a houseboat and splurged on a cruise the backwater canals and tributaries of Alleppey. The boat was exactly what you would want for an exotic Asian Cruise adventure.
