Pulsierendes Leben/Ein Fest der Sinne
Was uns an diesem Aufenthalt so gut gefallen hat, war dass wir mitten unter der einheimischen Bevölkerung quasi "auf dem Dorf" gelebt haben und so Teil von einem Ganzen geworden sind. Indien ist ein Fest der Sinne, mit all den Geräuschen und Gerüchen, den Farben und Geschmäckern. Wir haben unter Palmen gewohnt und sind jeden Morgen durch Bananenplantagen zum Strand gelaufen. In Kovalam kann man - wenn man in die Sraßen geht, die parallelen zum Strand etwa 150 Meter weit entfernt verlaufen - in Lokalen essen in denen auch die "werktätige" indische Bevölkerung isst. Ein Tipp: zum Strand ist es eine Fußmarsch von etwa 10 Minuten, man kann sich aber für 100 Rupien (ca. 1,40 €) ein Tuk-Tuk nehmen. Besonders empfehlenswert sind die einheimischen Schneider, bei denen man sich für sehr wenig Geld Kleidung maßschneidern lassen kann. Die Eigentümer des Hauses Pat und Sibi - sie wohnen im Erdgeschoss des Hauses - waren immer mit Rat und Tat bei Seite gestanden, und man kann mit ihnen, wenn man Lust hat lange Gespräche über Gott und die Welt führen und viel über Indien erfahren. Die Wohnung - im ersten Obergeschoss des Hauses gelegen - hat zwei seperate Schlafzimmer und Bäder sowie eine funktionale Küche in der man - wenn man Lust hat - richtig kochen kann, auch wenn wir davon wenig Gebrauch gemacht haben, weil diese Reise für uns auch eine kulinarische Reise war. Das schönste an der Wohnung - sie liegt im ersten Obergeschoss - , ist das nach zwei Seiten offene Wohnzimmer, das nur durch Holzjalousien von Außenwelt getrennt ist. Man sollte aber auch anmerken ruhig ist es in Indien nicht, vor allem wenn man auf dem Dorf lebt. Alle drei Religionen Hindus, Christen und Muslims beschallen ihre Gemeindemitglieder über Lautsprecher und feiern mit großer Inbrunst ihre Feste. Ansonsten war diese Reise ein Fest der Sinne. PS: Wer sich günstig mit einheimischer Kleidung eindecken möchte, kann dies in den angrenzenden im Inland gelegenen Kleisstätten tun - die Fahrt mit dem Tuk-Tuk dort hin kostet ca. 250 Rupien.

About the host

Hosted by Patricia Ainslie

Host profile image
Hi, I'm originally from UK & relocated to Kerala 16yrs ago & loving it. Although I came for the 'quiet life' after working as a local government Social Worker for many years,it did not quite work out that way, I now have an Indian tourism & event management company & more recently started writing for the film industry (screen plays & song lyrics). Life out here is busy but I still enjoy meeting new people, welcoming them to my home & sharing the wonders that beautiful Kerala has to offer.

Why they chose this property

Here I have the best of both worlds living side by side with local families yet still within easy reach of the beach & Trivandrum city.

What makes this property unique

Near to local transport & shops.
Living amongst the local people I have been helped to master the language.
