Boating at Veli

After our visit to Veli during our previous visit to Trivandrum, I was determined to take take the children on a boat ride the next time we visited provided there was no rain. 

We did it this time . . . Few snaps from the ride . . .

Vizhinjam Harbour

Similar to last year's holiday, we decided to go scouting along the coastline this time too. This time, we visited the Vizhinjam harbour. The breakwaters putting up a strong front to the enormous waves was quite a site. However, we were in for more sights inside the fishing harbour.
