India - Drumming And Chanting In God's Own Country (The Temple Music Of Kerala In South India) - Various Artists

Advantages: Beach, Food, People, Places
Disadvantages: none

...assure you all that you will enjoy this boat ride. Allepy is also called 'Venice of the East' because this palce is similar to Venice. Guruvayur has the temple of Lord Krishna which again is a place viisited by most of the people. Munnar is also one of the place to ben necause its has the highest point above sea-level in south india. The home made choclates over here are so yummy it just brings water to your mouth. aslo you can see some tea plantations & Rubber plantations and you can walk in these plantations. I have visited this place once but just for a span of 4 days, but i would really like to visit this place again but for a much longer stay then this as this place has so much more to offer. Hope if any of you plan to visit india then do visit Kerala also you will like it.... Read review

The name Kozhikode is derived from the Malayalam word for the crowing of a cock. Kozhikode has several institutions of higher learning including a National Institute of Technology and an Indian Institute of Management.

This review is based on the trip itself and the diving rather than the dive school of which I have already done a review. I have only given a taster of the trip as don't want to bore people. We turned up at our usual haunt Barracuda Diving at Miramar at 9.30 and helped load up the 4 X 4 vehicle. As we were going to be around 5 hours away it was even more important to take the right kit.
