Finally Becky and I were on the train to Kottayam and were picked up at the station by a cab and late in the morning we reached Kumarakom &#8211; the enchanting backwaters of Kerala. What followed was an amazing mixture of luxury, a feeling of royalty, merging one with nature and hours of just ogling at nature. <br \/>Imagine 28 cottages spread over 17 acres of garden, canals and bridges. And then imagine &#8211; we were the only people there. We were treated like royalty! The cottages were quaint, the gardens lush green (in the middle of summer!) and the pool inviting. We felt like a King and a Queen with people to serve us food of our choice, clean up the room and help us!<br \/>Besides the relaxing time the highlight of our trip was discovering the beauty of Gods creation &#8211; water, clouds, the sunset, lakes, fish, greenery and twilight opened our eyes! Its so weird &#8211; we seem so busy to notice these and it took a vacation to truly discover God beauty.<br \/>The 20 hours we spent on a houseboat cruising through the backwaters was a very different experience!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vacation time!!
