That’s Kerala! A few tens of hours of train and I was in Fort Cochin, some sort of a small Jewish-Portuguese-Dutch-British city.
Here I have experienced my first coconut water directly from the fruit and a few more local delicacies. But basically I was tasting the pleasure of walking in a city that is mostly pedestrian—no Horn Please stickers—as opposed to almost all of the other places I visited so far. Including Goa beaches, where auto-rickshaw and motorbikes rule the streets.
Then it cometh my first ayurvedic massage (actually my first massage ever). In the same day I had a Thai-Chi lesson, a Korean massage and the Ayurvedic thing. Not bad for a rookie!
My host (check gallery) drove me to a small village on the backwaters. After a few minutes almost all of the locals popped out to check the new people in town! :-)
In Trivandrum I visited an experimental village where another CSer is building and testing bamboo houses environment-friendly (i.e. using less iron or plastic as possible). As a side-effect I got my share of coconut water from a bamboo-straw made on the spot :-)
Then with the CS-crew of Trivandrum we moved to Kanniyakumari, the southernmost point of India, but this will be on the next post!

Again, thank you for the short holiday!
Days are becoming longer up here. Light really gives you a lot of energy; maybe for this reason Helena has now started walking!!! She is not even one. A proud Papi, Papi
Mazal tov! Congratulations—and send pictures :-)
Be strong and wait: during the summer I will be thinking of you up there with the daylight stretching catlike and squeezing the night!
That is something I want to see. Let’s see if I can pay you a quick visit after The Wedding.
“Coconut water from the source”
grande la maglietta in questa foto!!

P.S.: non si possono più commentare le foto?
Ho fatto la foto apposta :-)
Per quanto riguarda le foto, ho fatto una modifica adesso.
Si possono commentare le gallerie, ma il commento appare nella galleria (i.e. India, Greece) e in tutte le sotto-gallerie. Questo perché le sotto-gallerie sono generate automaticamente, e non hanno una pagina propria.Adesso vedo se e’ possibile piazzare ogni galleria nella propria pagina (ma se non e’ automatico te lo scordi :-)
È possibile commentare le . Ogni galleria ha (avrà) la sua propria pagina.
Very nice photos!
And very charming places.
I figured I could have seen some images of the gang fight, but never mind, I can live with that!
Dove sei finito, viaggiatore?!??
Deciditi a scrivere più spesso sul blog invece di passare da una festa all’altra, che qui si è curiosi!
Buon viaggio..
