Alan too his married adult woman travelled amongst to Bamboo Village, spending their fourth dimension getting to know the local community, sampling the food, soaking inward the natural beauty, too exploring the region's secrets. He sent us this heartwarming missive of the alphabet at the terminate of their travels!
We had a wonderful vacation inward Kerala. Thrikkaipetta was the highlight of our trip. We enjoyed the double-decker journeying into Wayanad but the arrival at Kochupurakkal Homestay was similar arriving inward paradise amongst butterflies on the flowers too birds inward the trees. After the incessant noise of the route journeying the homestay's place on a tranquillity lane inward front end of padi fields too a steep, misty, forested mountain was a consummate contrast.
Eliyamma too 'Baby' too their boy Varghese made us rattling welcome. Our room was comfortable too spotlessly clean. For iv days nosotros enjoyed learning nearly life inward Kerala, too Thrikkaipetta inward particular, through the many discussions nosotros had amongst our hosts. To sense this was enormously enriching too gave us hence many insights into how the hamlet runs too to a greater extent than by too large into menage unit of measurement life inward Kerala. The nutrient they cooked for us was outstanding. It all tasted wonderful too was perfectly cooked. The meals consisted of hence many beautifully cooked Keralan dishes. Eliyamma uses many of her ain ingredients, fruits, spices too vegetables, grown either inward her garden simply about the house, inward the plot across the lane, inward the yam field upwards the colina or her padi some distance away. Curd came from the cows inward the cowshed side past times side to the house. Kate spent 1 level amongst Eliyamma too Baby inward the kitchen writing recipes for these fantabulous dishes.  |

Raju who lives along the same lane was our require for 3 days of walking simply about Thrikkaipetta. He has a swell amount of detailed cognition nearly the village. We chose to pass all of our fourth dimension locally rather than go to attractions farther afield. This was because nosotros valued hence much learning inward depth nearly Thrikkaipetta too because Raju is hence adept at guiding too explaining. He knows many people inward the hamlet hence nosotros regularly stopped too talked to other people. We loved the landscape that Thrikkaipetta is gear upwards in. We walked along footpaths too lanes through tea, rubber, kokosnoot too areca plantations also as forests too padis. We went to the GUP school, the workshops too store at Uravu, Shiva temple too climbed to the viewpoint on Manikunnumala Mountain. Kate joined inward amongst the children singing at Anganvadi. 2013 has been such a heavy monsoon that everywhere was lush too verdant too the streams bubbling amongst water. We enjoyed experiencing the downpours too went everywhere amongst umbrellas. We reached Thrikkaipetta from Kochi past times develop to Nilambur too and hence past times double-decker through the woods to Meppadi. After Thrikkaipetta nosotros went past times double-decker to Thirunelli where nosotros enjoyed to a greater extent than fantabulous walks. We too hence left Wayanad past times double-decker to Kannur which was some other rattling scenic journey.Thank you lot for your piece of job inward enabling us to acquire hence much out of our vacation inward Kerala.
