We went elephant- riding, we watched a riveting show of Kalaripayatu - a local form of martial art and ate - a LOT.
It was a relaxing trip and I got to splash around in the swimming pool and get out of the city - just what I wanted. The place was gorgeous and GREEN and the people were really nice and friendly and there were lots of tourists - mostly Europeans.
Here are some randoms... I'll think about posting more later! :)

on the way back to our room one night I noticed this little spider sitting like a King right in the middle of its masterpiece web...
the Periyar lake where we went for a boat ride... we saw a few animals - deer, wild pigs, blah blah... After many years in Africa and a good number of African safaris, we're a little hard to please! Wish we could've seen a Tiger!
banana chips galore!

Thekkadi with an I like I'd say it, is an awesome place. I went there when i was little and i still can't forget the sounds some creatures made. we stayed at a cottage with heaters on and a cook who made authentic kerala idiappam once and steamed peppered cauliflower the next dsy. awesome it was!
