Dreamy Alleppey

Renting a houseboat in Alleppey was probably one of my highlights of the trip. We opted for a small canoe and paddled through villages, rice paddy fields and even stopped for breakfast cooked by locals.

Dhobi Ghat, Bombay

It's fair to say I had a slight fascination with laundry whilst travelling around India. Firstly, i'ts all done by hand and secondly they dry it ANYWHERE. Up a tree, on the beach, over stones, railings, pavements, cables, rubbish..... I visited the Dhobi Ghat in Bombay, the world's largest human powered washing machine. The 'Dhobi's was their laundry in individual concrete pods.
