We took a over night trip on the back waters of Allepey in Kerala. These backwaters are
very famous for their house boats (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerala_backwaters)
We had the boat exclusively for us (it is a 1 bed room boat house and here are the views we
enjoyed on that trip.

Yep, I'd say that fits the definition of relaxed. :) So what was for dinner? Some type of shrimp?

Prawns. It was a tough choice between tiger prawns, prawns and crab.
Talk about first world problems. :lol:

Thank you Jeff, Andy and Henry. It was a blast. This is the first time I took
my travel bag (i.e. 70-400, HVL58 and assorted filters) with me.
