So my mother arrived here what a week ago or something, I dont really keep track of time... Anyways my vacation has gone like this...
Took a ten hour train ride to Mumbai to surprize her then we stayed the night in mumbai and left at 7 am on the morning train to Goa, the train ride was more interesting than Goa but we only stayed a day there...
Then we left the next night on the night train to Kochi. I however forgot to check the time of the trains departure to see if had changed and we ended up missing the train, 900 rupee's later we were in the sleeper cars wondering what we had gotten ourselves into, 15 hours later we were in Kochi, Kerala. From there we took a taxi another hour to Kottayam or something like that and spent the night in a place that is probably ment for honeymooners... It was nice...
The next morning we went on a house boat and I must say my expectations were blown to peices, it was amazing pictures will be online when my mom gets home.
Then the next morning we took another taxi to Kumily which is very touristy and we are at a home stay outside of the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary. Today we went to the sanctuary and saw elephants tigers and bears... okay not really, we saw a lot of monkeys and butterflies... it was still good though.
We hiked around the sanctuary with our own guide and got some nice leeches on us but luckly they gave us these atractive sock things to make sure they didn't suck our blood, my mother wasnt so lucky, she got bit twice...
Now we are going to a Martial Art performance... I know... weird but it looks cool.
Tomorrow were going somewhere prett, learning how to cook indian food, and something else. Well I must be off, sorry I havent posted in awhile, more later!
Love and miss you,
Sarah

Hi everyone. Just thought I'd read what sarah wrote and post a hello. We are scheduled (our bed and breakfast friend who keeps track of us will be sure we keep to our plan) today to ride an elephant, visit a tea plantation and something else... This has been an amazing few days...staying put and being touristy. I don't feel like we will ever dry off after living in the tropics for this spot, but Sarah promises where she lives is deserty. Every pore of my body lets off the smells of Indian food. I always used to say I liked every kind of food except Indian. I'm now getting a chance to develop a taste for it.
ReplyDeleteI think it could be a little strange for us to be traveling together...2 women, no men. We seem to get lots of help. (that's a clue, isn't it?)
I can't wait to watch the bats fly again tonight. Coolest thing ever!! I had to watch it from a very small window last night as we watched the mighty warrior man-show, but tonight I'm hoping for the open sky view.
Hope all is well-see you soon
