(^94) Alleppey - Kollam - By ferry
Instead of doing a houseboat cruise, Amanda and I took the State ferry south
along the backwaters to Kollam, while Ernest preferred to cycle. What a
picturesque and leisurely way to get to the next town. The boat ride lasted the
entire day and stopped once for lunch and once for tea. Again, we saw many
villages with villagers going about their daily tasks. These waters are used
extensively by the people living in the area for bathing, laundry, dishes, and
fishing. Fishing seemed the general activity, and the methods varied from
Chinese fishing to hand nets. The boat arrived in Kollam at six-thirty, where
Ernest was preparing food.
