Hi Keith and Dev, what a gorgeous place. When you picture India you mostly see large cities with loads people and congestion. I never knew that Kerala was so beautiful. The large Palm trees along the water are really something to see.

If I may suggest, 1) go to Idukki (another district in Kerala rich with wildlife). Take the one-night stay at a treehouse deep inside the wild. You will be amazed and will have another of the best experiences. 2) Thrissur. The cultural capital of Kerala. Now it's the festival season. You will get to see the cultural temple festivals with ornamented Elephants. Also visit the Kalamandalam. One the iconic Art School. And the Athirapilly water falls 3) Kochin. Industrial capital and biggest city in Kerala. For the city life, shopping etc. Also rich with history (like any other place in kerala 4) North Kerala. Kozhikode for food. Wayand for wildlife and safaris Have a wonderful experinece in my state ❤

The boat trip looked wonderful. So happy to see you have 24 hours of total relaxation. I had no idea there were houseboats in India - such a lovely place to cruise around. Can I ask why youre' vegetarian in India? Which as a vegan, I think is great 🙂

@KeithandDev 2 ай бұрын

India is definitely the easiest place in the world to be vegetarian as there are so many options and a good percentage of the population is vegetarian. The other reason is in our past, our food related illnesses have always been around meat… so we though we might as well cut it out while we are here to try to be a bit safer :) lastly we both do like eating vegetarian and hope to eat more plant based in general! ☺️ great question Libby and thank you as always for watching ♥️
