We arrived in Alleppey via train from Munroe Island. We booked to stay on a house boat for the night so made our way to the boat. The boat was really nice, we checked in and at 1pm it departed and took us through some big canals and lakes to see a different part of the backwaters of Kerala. We stopped off in the middle of a huge lake and had lunch on the boat and then continued through a village where we could see lots of women doing their washing in the canal water. Later, we stopped off for the night so we got off the boat and watched the sunset over the rice paddies. We got back on the boat for the evening meal and went to bed. The next morning, we had to get up early as breakfast was 7.30am and headed back to Alleppey for 9am. On the way back through the villages, we saw the people who lived there brushing their teeth and washing their hair in the canal water. We went straight to the train station to catch the next train to Kochi.
