Travels with Megan & Dan's video: Alleppey INDIA - Backwaters Kerala FOOD TOUR

WE VISITED ALLEPPEY IN EARLY MARCH 2019 We arrived at our Hostel, Funky Beach House, at 3 am after a late night bus from Coimbatore and slept on the roof before we could check into our room the next day! The hostel is right next to the sea so we could hear the waves as we went to sleep. The next day, we checked into our room and went to find some breakfast/lunch at Seashore Restaurant. Dan thoroughly enjoyed an iced coffee whilst I chopped on some ginger chicken which was delightful! We had become obsessed with chess after Ooty so we then popped into town to buy a travel chess board which we played for the rest of the day whilst the kind people at Funky House gave us fresh watermelon. The next day we went on a Backwater Canoe Tour. We had a locally made breakfast at the ‘Captains’ house with Idlis and sambar (spicy veg stew). The family didn’t speak much English but were very kind and wouldn’t stop feeding us, a recurrent theme in India, apparently “No more, I’m full’ is not acceptable! We then went on a serene quiet canoe tour, where we excitingly saw a couple of Kingfishers! We then had lunch at the Captains again then headed back to the Hostel to play more chess. A friend of the hostel owner then wanted to play, having said he was a bit rusty, I was happy to play. He checkmated me in 5 moves. We then spent a hour learning some chess techniques off him, I swear he was a professional. We had a relaxing day the next day, going for a swim and playing more chess. In the evening, we head went to Thaff, a recommended restaurant. Here we tried a amazing chicken and duck dish! The pineapple and mango lassis were a welcome sight too! We left early the next day to Kochi!
