Houseboat trip from Kollam to Alleppey

We decided to make ourselves a present and did a two days houseboat trip from Kollam to Alleppey. As it is really a touristic thing, one pays for it. But it was worth it: we had two days of almost only sitting or lying around, watching and eating. Here you can see our captain and boat, and the lovely views we had.
 
Of course we also did some short land trips. A woman from a village showed us how they do their traditional ropes by spinning coconut fibres.

The landscape was really enjoyable.

We also did a trip by a small canoe to the smaller canals. We left our houseboat behind and gave us into the hands of a crazy-funny guide.

The nights we landed. The second night we made a short discovery trip and met nice village-people.
 
All in all we just had a great time. Especially the crew (three men) was really nice, generous and helpful. The cook was our hero – we really ate a lot!

Thanks a lot for the lines which you have shared among us. It is really a most enjoyable one to go through the lines. I love to see the Alleppey, and it is one of the best place for the honeymooners to spend out the honeymoon . I too have once went to this place along with my friends and the classmates.
