\nTijd voor een Kerala backwater trip! Met een busje worden we naar een zogenaamde houseboat gebracht. Daarmee varen we door allerlei rivieren en kanalen van Kerala. Het bijzondere is dat de boot met de hand wordt voortgeduwd door twee mannen die met lange stokken zich afzetten tegen de bodem. Een mooie tocht langs groene oevers vol met palmbomen en kleine dorpjes. Natuurlijk moest er af en toe gestopt worden bij een dorpje. Zo hebben we geleerd hoe ze touw maken van cocosnoten, maar het meeste indruk maakte de specerijen.
\nOp een oppervlakte van een kleine tuin, kwamen we alle kruiden tegen die je maar kan bedenken: peper, nootmuskaat, kaneel (dat komt van de stam van de kaneelboom), gember, laurier, basilicum, koriander.
\nEen mooi rustig tochtje zonder toeterende auto’s, alleen wat kwebbelende toeristen.<\/p>\n

Dinsdag 4 december 2012
\nVandaag stond onze eerste treindag op het programma (Cochin – Varkala). Aangezien we allerlei verhalen hadden gehoord over lange wachtrijen en veel administratie,lieten we ons om 8 uur met de taxi afzetten op het treinstation (South Junction). Daar hadden we binnen vijf minuten kaartjes te pakken voor de trein van 10 uur naar Varkala (De Kerala express van Dehli – Thiruvananthaparum).
\nDaarna naar de informatiebalie om te vragen van welk perron de trein vertrekt. Dan komt er om kwart voor 10 een enorm lange trein het station binnenrijden. Aangezien je kaartjes voor verschillende klassen kan kopen, was het de uitdaging het juiste coupe te vinden. We hadden zogenaamde Air conditioning kaartjes. Dus op de gok een coupe ingestapt, niet die met de open ramen. In de trein was het een enorme bende, de trein was al een paar dagen onderweg vanuit Dehli, hangende en liggende mensen in de coupes met drie boven elkaar hangende bedbanken. Gelukkig toch nog een plekje gevonden en volgens de later langskomende conducteur ook nog de juiste coupe. Na vier uur treinen kwamen we aan in Varkala. Met een tuktuk naar ons hotel gegaan.
\nWat een verademing! Varkala is een kustplaatsje met alle zaken die een toerist graag wil. Terrasje met uitzicht op zee en bier (niet in een theepot). Lekker eten. Een strand zonder glurende Indiers. Geen iman die het hele dorp wakker houdt met zijn preken. Hier gaan we het wel een paar dagen uithouden.<\/p>\n
