Kerala region brands itself as God's own Country. They are not wrong. Since time is running short, here's the photo travel tale. first stop was a beach side resort called Marari Beach Resort. It is located on the coast of the Arabian Sea. This beautiful resort has been eco-friendly since the 50's. I got my first Indian Ayuvedic massage. Now there is an interesting experience. I'll save that one for an in-person tale.
Then it was time to hit the backwater in a rice barge houseboat.
We had one of these bad boys overnight. But to get into the smaller canals/villages we had a smaller canoe. The only downside was the diesel. Hopefully they will convert because the local people rely on the water for bathing, washing, cooking and fishing. They are being overrun by this oily slick on the water.
And sunset did not disappoint. Lovely evening with an equally peaceful morning. Time to head back to land for the last leg of India tour 2012.

Of course no cruise is complete without a Kingfisher waiting for the sunset.
