As we travelled on the Backwaters we first crossed the lake and then entered the canals and waterways, passing open water and then rice fields, gradually encountering more people and more densely built up areas. At first there were just the odd houses then eventually whole villages built alongside the canals, including shops, Churches, Temples and schools. The pictures below reflect some of the different domestic properties we saw.

As
we progress houses became more substantial, larger and came with all mod-cons.
And
new places are still being built.
