In Kerala, India, waterways are a major source of transportation, and the backwaters of Kerala may be cruised by houseboat.
The boats are made with coir and bamboo and held together by knots. Some of the boats are up to one hundred year old.
Many of the boats are very decorative and the coir is elaborately woven and appears delicate, looking almost like lace. What a romantic way to travel.
As one of three "H"'s in our home this one is super special to me :)
