12:40p - KOVALLAM BEACH!!
Welcome to one of the most famous beaches of kerala (the other are kapad etc.).Welcome to KOVALAM ...
what u get here is a great scenic beauty with all the glamour of the sea...behind it...now catching our breath after that long walk to a place where we can keep our bags and spread our mats to get ready for the fun....in the sea...as i said u all must be prepared with ur swimming costumes..so get ready...as me and my friends are already in the sea waves..my GOD once ur in the sea u seem so powerless..it will pull u and push u..make u tumble in it's force ..but then it'll feel as if u'r playing with ur pet...with it being in the mood of pure fun..and being merry in that mock fight...now after that tiring sea fun..we all dead tired and are badly in need of a fresh water shower...so we took a hotel room and had a bath ..it was already night and we took to a near by hotelcumbar..with my friends ordering for alcohol and myself settling for a coke...(it's not that i never had alcohol..but now i kinda don't like it..ok leave it)...we had a great time eating and chating..and then just went to the hotel room and slept like logs...
i was just humming that song by " BEATLES "
"it had been hard days and nights and i had been working like a dog ..it had been hard days and night and i should be sleeping like a log..but when i come home to u..i found the things that u do..oh yeah i feel Ok ..oh yeah i feel alright..when im home baby u holding me tight and when im home baby u holding me tight tight yeah..."
So with this our Kovalam trip ended and we move the next morning to Kullam(Quilon)where we'll take a 8 hr cruise to cochin..So see u there....till then take care...C U
current mood:  accomplished

6:30p - CRUISE CONTROL!!
Well we arrived Kullam(Quilon) in the morning..and before having our breakfast we took our tickets and reserved our seats on the cruise....well ofcourse we wanted to have the seats near to the window....hehe...there were lots of foreign tourists...and most of them were really happy to have spent there hols in kerala...they were mesmerised with the beauty and the simplicity..that kerala had to serve in it's life and in the nature......well were on to the cruise..and believe i had never been on such along journey on water..i was a little apprehensive about it ..initially but..afterwards i enjoyed everybit of the cruise....we saw the kerala's second biggest lake ..i.e. Ashtmudhi lake..and saw many islands with the natives tribes...the Chinese fishing nets were of amazing site to see in the back waters..with the line of them showing as if large giraffes standing..with there heads held..high..or like large starfish jumping out of the water......it was just awsome...
I was fascinated to see jellyfishes in the backwaters...
(actually till now i haven't told u about abck waters..well what i know is that...backwaters are actually sea inlets formed due to tides in the sea..or ocean...as the high tide come the ocean water fills into these big criveces...and with low tide the water remians ..there and form a water body going deep into the main land...)
Well there were many sea-birds and different type of fishes to be seen from the cruise....it was the first time that i saw an eagle come charging in to the thin air ..and catch a fish in front of my eyes.....it was just unbelievable.....i was so dissapointed that i don't have a zoom camera..with me..but still i took pictures from my automatic camera...well the cruise took us to an island hotel serving typical kerala cuisine...we had a real good lunch served on banana leaves....it was delicious....since im an eggeterian so i didn't had fish but people eating fish were all full of appreciations for it.....so after that we set of again and then had one more stop for tea agian on an island..and then we reached the Allepey city by night....we took a bus from there to our last stop i.e. COCHIN.....hope u people liked the trip till now and keep visiting to get excitments of cochin harbour nd fortcochi..till then take care C U
