Kerala Backwaters & Kochi:
One of the boats we toured, us on a handmade looking canoe, the first Indian elephant, and watching the locals make rope out of dried coconut strands. We also took a lot of selfies with random people, and took family pictures with a random Indian family.
Munnar, India:
A mountain town known for its' tea plantations. We took a Tuk Tuk tour up a mountain, and saw many things including a wild elephant. The next day we did a all day trek through the tea plantations and a spice garden, were we saw many things including latex trees, cacao, coffee bean, cardimum, lemongrass, and chili peppers. Mixed in we re-united with friends we had met throughout this trip.
On our way to Goa, we took a train. & ate train food which resulted in Joshua getting sick. I administered to him fluids. Here's a pic of him in our hotel room in Goa, receiving the fluids.
The rest of Goa:
Once healed, we have fallen in love with Goa, India. It is a true vacation spot with beautiful beaches, amazing food, and many western comforts, with a Indian flare.
Above is our friends from Germany Alex, and Pascal, which we met serendipitously in 3 different cities on our trip.
