Easter break in Kerala, India


During Easter we decided to explore Kerala, the southwestern state of India. Kerala is the origin of many of the middle class expats here in Oman. Travelling together with Joris, Marloon, and Coco we flew tyo the city of Cochin, the oldest colonial city of the state.

Breakfast on the court of our bed and breakfast in Cochin. The colonial house was filled with nice furniture, and charis big enough for two.

Kerala is also home to the famous Kerala Mustache (shown above). Joris' white legs drew the attention of the locals.

 After Cochin, we travelled to the mountains to see the tea plantations, and wildlife reserve.
Sweet girls!

Hunting easter eggs in the jungle. Matilda found one under a huge jack fruit!

Ushi took us throuh the forest for half an hour, long enough to experience sitting on an elephant, and short enough not to get completely sore.
