Indian - Day 21 - Thursday 24th November

 Woke early on the boat and had a short walk on the bank before the others joined us for tea and breakfast.  The boat cast off at about 8.30 and we quickly entered the vast Vembanadu Lake.  It took Nother two hours to reach the northern part of the lake where our next, and final, hotel was located.  The last part of the journey was made trickier by the vast amounts of water hyacinth clogging the surface.


The Coconut Lagoon is another CGH resort, and this time out but has a wonderful old wood ceiling, and a veranda overlooking one of the canals.  We watched two men clearing some of the ever present weed, then joined the others in reception.

Our boat trip to a farm for lunch turned into a tuk-tuk ride, then a short boat trip across to the island.  We visited part of the farm, then had one of our best meals of the trip.

Back at the hotel we had a swim, and a laze, and watched a monitor lizard walk past us, then met four of the others for an evening meal in the seafood restaurant.
