Here just some more ad random pictures which I took when visiting our Backwaters. Away from the hussle and bussle of City life, pollution and noise it only takes a relative short car ride to bring me to the start of the Backwaters and here I can breath and enjoy the “simple way of life” of those lovely people, always friendly and ready to share a piece of fruit or water or chai (tea) with them. The language barrier does not exist for us, we chat and chat – they in Malayalam and I in English and we understand each other and have a few happy joyous moments together. I love going back to those places, over and over again. So come and join me and enjoy the view. I am happy and proud to show you around.

Thanks, I enjoyed the visit to a new place!
thank you Anita (look at your email), Carina
This little tour was a lovely refreshing one – thank you for taking me.
Hello Ann-Christine, as I said before, I ran out of time so the next batch will come soon. I just wish I could transform the tranquility onto this screen.
Great photos!
thank you Hayley – and many more to come. Ran out of time yesterday – sorry. 🙂
a beautiful place, wonderful photos and words … did you have a boat ride too?
haha – yeeees! but not in a canoe.
Super shots of this fantastical part of the world. Do love the kids playing in the water – such abandon. 🙂
A beautiful series of photos of your part of the world. I love the peaceful simplicity of the boats in the first photo.
thank you – I have already found some more nice boat pictures (especially for you 🙂 ).
Thank you I’m sure they will be beautiful
Wow. Gorgeous.
Stunning pictures! Love the shape of the boats and the amazing fishermen’s nets.
Welcome Hilary and thank you. Yes, it is truly a lovely sight to see the brightly painted boats in the midst of all this greenery.
I spent just over a week in Kerala several years ago. An overnight backwaters cruise, a stay on a spice plantation in Thekkady, a couple of days in Munnar and Cochin. It was the perfect end to a month-long vacation in India.
oh you lucky girl! 🙂 I try to talk Jo into a trip over night on those wonderful traditional boats – maybe one day I will be successful! 🙂
It was SO amazing and so beautiful. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
I like your enthusiasm Fransi, but….. what’s stopping you??
Nothing. Some other trips to take first.
Wonderful place, wonderful photography, excellent post!
Grazie, Alessandro.
What a magical place and such beautiful photographs-
just love the picture of the children playing in the water
