After the long train ride (18 hours) I step off into Kerala. Kollam is a busy town, which, surprisingly, doesn't irritate me after several weeks of relaxing at the beach. I quickly get into a very reasonable hotel, the room is just INR150, back to normal prices, and probably the cheapest room on my trip so far.

After a quick walk around I realise that there is not much to do in town, so tomorrow I will head over to the lake and jump on a boat towards Alappuzha, for a Kerala backwater experience.

I don't have quite enough time to do everything I want to do in Kerala. So, I'm going to freestyle it to the last hour, and see what happens :)
