After meeting Graham in Kochin, we traveled an hour and a half by train south to Allaphuza (Alleppey), which is the main starting point for the famed backwaters tours of Kerala. There is an extensive system of back waters which host many villages and homesteads and which are delightfully serene and scenic. This is the 'resort' we stayed at. It was still under construction, but we found it through a connection of a friend and we were hosted there for FREE. It was fabulous.
We're such an old married couple!Actually, we're so pleased to be together again, 8 weeks was too long for us.
Graham and Manu. Manu is the Indian man who is building the resort. He spent three years in Singapore and eight in Australia before some investors there convinced him to go back home and begin developping (commercial). He was a gracious host and one of the most laid back people I've met. Graham enjoyed an early morning chat with him.
One evening we wanted to watch a movie, so we arranged a "showing" of Pan's Labyrinth, India-style. We're under an open enclosure, with back waters surrounding us and palm trees. A Computer is sitting on top of the cooler and everyone at the resort sat on two benches - like in a movie theater?
