Kumarakom backwaters houseboat on New years eve!


On New years eve we went on a "rented" a house boat and spent the night out in Coconut Lagoon. We left from Kumarakom in Kerala and onto the Vembanad Lake. It took us about four hours to drive to the dock and only ten miniutes to get on the river. The river was calm and Brogan tried to fish while we were moving, eventually he admitted defeat and sat there watching the bait skip on the water. He had a great time. Once we got out onto the lake Brogan and I got to take turns steering the huge boat, that was cool. It began to get dark and we played some card games to pass the time. (I'm not sure wether this counts as 2009 or 2010 but...) about midnight we sat watching the fireworks from hotels and resorts, and I'm not going to neglect to mention that the first thing Brogan did in 2010 was slap himself in the face (he's such a dork)!
