Kerala


I'm ending my trip in the lush, green, humid state of Kerala in southern India. The pace is more relaxed, the traffic more sane (there are traffic police here, what a concept!) The shopkeepers apologize for their northern counterparts.
I'm visiting Kochi, originally settled by the Portuguese, Periyar, the land of tea and spice plantations, and Aleppey to explore the backwaters by houseboat.
