Cruising the Backwaters of Kerala

The most unique experience we had on this trip was our time on the house boats at Aleppy. We all loved cruising the backwaters of the region. It's a photographer's dreamland. So fascinating to watch every day Keralan life go by....





Check out Grandma how fast she can canoe to the market:



These friendly fishermen were quite agile on the mini rice barges.


Their backyard is their laundry room, bathing area, play ground and more:


Kids after school get home not by school bus but school CANOE! How cool is that?


We all loved the slower pace of life and just relaxing on board:





More beautiful scenes of the backwaters....





And some photos of how we lived on the Lakes & Lagoon Boat No. 7
