Delicious dishes, good memories and an awesome airport!
Yummy...!
Friends, these are some of the pictures taken at KLIA -2 (Kuala Lumpur International Airport), Malaysia recently. Not many changes here since my visit about 4 years ago but it was thrilling to see everything again. I was hungry when I landed and decided to eat something from the food court. After browsing thoroughly and observing people buying food I decided to try this fish ball soup. I was right, Wow, delicious!
Interspersed with not so fierce red chillies, super cool broth, some vegetables and soft noodles this soup was simply great! It was very much filling too.
The ambiance was also good. Not much rush at that time in the afternoon and I sat there quietly and enjoyed this dish.

Elephant safari at Munnar, Kerala
It was our long cherished dream to do an elephant safari like this! We actually got a chance when we visited Thekkady before, but unfortunately, it did not work out. But this time we made it happen😊
Well, this place is crowded almost always. So get there early so that you can enjoy the ride leisurely. Never forget to feed the elephants; they like it :) Well, they charge you for the photos which will be given to you, copied on CD's, but only their official photographer will be allowed entry into the trekking spot inside the forest. So they only will be able to get good snaps.
There are platforms built at a height from where you can mount on them easily. The trekking was smooth, but when the elephant negotiated the turn to return back to the base by climbing down a slope we were clutching hard on the handles! But it was fun😊
A great experience, indeed!

Houseboat cruise, backwaters of Kerala, God's own country
This is a 'snake boat' we spotted while cruising. Snake boat race (Vallamkali ) is another tourist attraction in Kerala. Such very long boats will compete during Onam, the festive season, in many places in Kerala. The most famous is the Nehru trophy boat race at Alleppey, the very same place where we go for a houseboat cruise.
Some high-end hotel properties also have come up here. Many are having their own private pier for houseboats. Enjoy in style!

It is easy to book a cruise. There are plenty of online portals offering attractive deals. Or if you prefer to book one on the site then use this pre-paid counter. There is a comfortable waiting room also.
The backwaters of Kerala are a chain of lakes, canals, and rivers that connect with the
Look at those huge boats waiting for passengers!
Yummy!
What you see above is a dangerous fruit called 'Odallum'. Never ever eat these, it is fatal. They are poisonous. Sometimes boats stop at areas of lagoons for lunch where you will find these plants. They look like mangoes; be careful!
