It started a week ago. The long forgotten holiday trip. It was a ride back to good old days of trekking and holidaying. Though there had been lengthier off-work periods, the thrill of moving into nature's heart had been left behind since long time.
It started with the drive into Venice of East. The beauty of Vembanattu Lake was absorbed to the heart through the view given by Thanneermukkom Bund and the taste given by 'Karimeen' fry. Then the drive proceeded through the land of Kerala Satyagraha.
The destination two was queen of Arabian Sea. The Kochi Lake View and the Urbane Ernakulam was enough for an evening out.
Again back to nature's heart to see the exquisite views of flowing water- the beauty, the power, the fascination, the enticement of Waterfalls at Athirappalli-Vazhachal through flora and fauna. A short visit to an old abode in between.
The winter journey would be incomplete without a visit to the chill of Queen of Hills across the border. The natural garden and lake view and a boat ride. Then a run to climb the beautiful hilltop and a chilling drive back to the land of Spicy Hills.
The final destination was supposed to be same land of spicy hills with a sentinel rock waterfall. But everything would not be fine without a pilgrimage at least in the end. And the journey back to a forest loving and learning centre.
The seven days. The nature known and seen.
