Fancy a run through Kerala?

A friend of mine, Peter Dulvy, visited kerala last year for my cousin's wedding. Peter along with many of Robin's friends did a whirlwind trip around kerala and stayed with us for a few days. Little did I know, his jaunt to the tropics would leave a permanent impression on him so much so he would return in a few months. This time though, he plans to run through kerala!! I think it is one of the by products of globalisation, otherwise how do explain an Irish Pakistani Pathan dodging lungi clad men running through the bylanes of kuttanad hoping to cover 600km in 30 days in Kerala during the month of May? Did I mention that Peter thinks he is an economist? Desmond, the photogrpaher, and Rahul, the chronicler are there with him in body and spirit. The blog is very well written and captures very the soul of rural kerala life. Almost makes me nostalgic sometimes when I go through it. Desmond takes fantastic photogrpahs, I saw him in action at Robin's wedding. You can visit their blog at www.heelsonfire.org Priya's parents are moving to Botswanna, predictably the project is in the middle of nowhere. My friend's father lives in Botswana, he claims that its nicest place on earth. He always exclaims what a nice place Botswana is after he travels out of the country and comes back. Hopefully we will be able to find out first hand when we visit. We also have to go visit my parents in Nigeria where I have not been back for a few years now. Our luggage seems to have arrived in the hamburg port, lets see how long it takes to get to us. Cannot wait to get settled again. Anyone planning any vacations? Still a bit jetlagged, going to bed.....
