As the sun sets to my left over the #ArabianSea I watch the fishermen set off to place their nets around #VembanadLake.

From Neelishwa it was on to Oyster Oper, I stayed in the second cabin from the left surrounded by water and wildlife, @isobel_diamond was staying in the high rise next door. #workingnotwork #coconut #coconutrees #water #India #Kerala #travel #oysteropera (at Oyster Opera)
