India

Our last day in India. We meet up with Ashutosh, whom we met at the very beginning via the first guest house that we stayed in in Delhi. How fun! Also we totally spaced out on the 4 o’clock — so this vide is around 8 pm.

Day 2 of cruising the Alleppey backwaters.

Cruising the backwaters in Kerela. We took the houseboat from Alleppey.

What’s it like to take a long distance bus in Kerela? Well, much like taking a city bus elsewhere in India…the breeze is nice.

Things looking up and a view down from our Green View “Villa” on a plantation (-esque) in Munnar, India.

An utter disaster, second mile stop, a couple of kilometers outside of Munnar hill town, India.

A visit to the old Paradesi Synagogue in Fort Cochin, India. Unfortunately no videos or photographs allowed inside. But if you ever find yourself in Fort Cochin, go here! Fascinating murals depicting Jewish migration to Kerela, the building, destruction (by the Portuguese) of the original synagogue, and the rebuilding (by the Dutch) of the building…

Coming to you from the rooftop of an art gallery in Colaba neighborhood, Mumbai, India.

It’s 4 o’clock! at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, formerly known as Victoria Terminus Station, in Mumbai, India.

Day 1 in Mumbai – our favorite big city in India. It is striking how different Mumbai is from all other places we’ve seen in India.
