We are here finally. All that is left of India is the faint hint of curry in our clothes, and a little (a lot) of trail dust in our lungs ( and ears and nose-- at least you can scrub those.We toasted her goodbye on the Spicejet flight over with vodka and some strange brand of lemonade. The taste? Not so great, but is served its purpose. We have heard from so many people about the wonderful backwater boat trips. It's tempting to go back, but not so much as to convince me to return any time soon. Perhaps with time my enthusiasm will return. In all pur travels we've never had a disappointment like the houseboat. If you are thinking of going I can certainly tell you who NOT to book your trip with!
My hair is curly again ( but still punk, oops, I mean pink) so we know the humidity is high. And the heat. Drenched all the time. We are boarding the Carpe Vita this afternoon and may or may not get in the water for a short snorkel later this pm. Short is like an hour. Most days it is much longer. There are hard core snorkellers on this trip and it is more than a little intimidating. But we've decided that as newbies we will take all the help and advice we can get. It will just be so nice to be on the water again.
We have paid and limited ( read unreliable) internet access on the boat, so I will try to keep up but not sure if that will be possible. I'm pretty sure the photos will have to wait until I get back here to Male. I have a long day here waiting for my flight home via Sri Lanka, China and Vancouver.
These photos are from the boat trip as per yesterday's post.
