Allepey Backwaters - More

This was my first time at the Allepey Backwaters. I did not know that people lived their daily life around the backwaters. Homes, schools, small access roads all appear to be part of the backwaters area.

There was a waterway tranportation system with stops at a number of locations for people to board and travel to nearby places. You can see the stop and waiting area in a couple of pictures above.

I also saw a small boat carrying school students back home. You can see this in one of the pictures. The school building is seen on the canal bank in the background. One of the school boy is sitting in the front of the boat and navigating it with an oar.

We had a great time there and I hope to visit it again.

In my next post
