Varkala- Rickshaw- train- Kollam- taxi- ferry- walking- and finally in Allepy!

The train journey again was ok and seriously cheap once again standing at the back of 2nd class.

We then haggled a taxi and arrived at the boat jetty to take the Ferry almost 3 hours early, the first ones to arrive!

Then after quite a beautiful, yet long 8 hour Ferry journey along the back-waters (wishing it was a house-boat) we arrived in Allepy!

The houseboat I wanted to go on...too much money

Compromise- A ferry along the backwaters

Chinese fishing nets

Hundreds of ducks

Pretty exhausted we searched for some accommodation and managed to find a little home-stay for £3.50! However, we noticed that there wasn’t exactly anything here to see or do we didn’t unpack. Next stop: Fort Kochi!
