Christmas in Kerala
After all the disruption of the last year we decided to treat ourselves to Christmas on the beach! As we had only been in India for four months we decided not, as many ex-pats do, to return to the UK and spend a couple of hectic weeks visiting family and friends and braving the British winter, but to spend at least a fortnight in Kerala.
We had no internet access for the first couple of months in India and therefore no way to book our holiday independently. Jeremy, from John’s office, recommended we use Ravishankar from Orchid Travels to plan our trip for us. He was probably more extravagant than we might have been, rejecting anything below a four star hotel as, “not suitable for madam.”
In a couple of weeks he had put together a comprehensive sixteen day, four centre holiday, which included sightseeing tours, a safari, backwater cruising and the services of a driver throughout. It was rather more than we had planned to spend but part of the reason we’ve come to India is to see as much as we possibly can and, this time, we’d do it in style!
