Alappuzha- Venice of the East.

That was our houseboat A couple of years back, Mr. Peter and I celebrated our wedding anniversary on a houseboat in the backwaters of Alappuzha. All that we wanted was to be away from the city and noise and all the hustle & bustle......moments which had just US !! It was a spontaneous trip.  I still remember that our anniversary was on a Saturday. Mr. Peter was busy with work at office and kids had school, so we couldn't take off on that Friday. Trains & flights were not available in accordance to our timings, so we took the bus on that Friday night from Bangalore. It was our kids'  first time on a long distance bus journey. And luckily they slept....no tantrums.  We reached Alappuzha around 8am. Our tour manager told us that we had to check in to the houseboat at 11 am at the Finishing Point.

Goa....pack your bags for an extended vacation

Ooty - A drive to the Queen of the Hills

To quote in the words of Dalai Lama - "Once a year, go someplace you've never been before".  School had closed for the summer and we haven't been anywhere for quite a long time.....and I've often felt that it is not good to keep a vacation waiting. The summer heat was really getting on to us and we needed a break.....and us being the splurge of the moment kinda people....we took a spontaneous decision to drive to Ooty, one of the most of the most beautiful hill stations in India, and hence also fondly referred to as the “Queen of Hill Stations”. From north to south, India is blessed with nature's most beautiful creations that turn the country into a heavenly abode for travellers.  One such pristine resort nestled at a height on Nilgiri Hills in South India is Ooty (Ootacamund).  This hill station has splendid green downs and lofty hills of extraordinary scenic beauty and is endowed with a salubrious climate. Located in the Western Ghats at a h
