Postcards from the lake

  • The availability strip showed our boat was free on the 14th but not the 15th. We changed our train and got the Kingfisher.

    Neha and Vikram, Mumbai, February 2026 (sample)

  • Lissy's karimeen fry is the best thing we ate in Kerala. The kids ate everything because she made it mild.
