I'm Sara. I'm 12 years old and this is my blog! We left Canada in January when Mum and Dad decided

On Day 1, we flew to Delhi, in India. It was so busy and noisy. There were hundreds of motorbikes, and
cars driving around, and people shouting and rushing everywhere. We spent a couple of days in Delhi and
then went by train all the way down the coast to Kerala. The journey took four days! But it was so
interesting to sit on the train and watch the sights out the window.
We stopped in a fantastic town called Varkala. There were palm trees on the beach, white sand and great
sunshine. We sat on the beach for a few hours and then we decided to do something really exciting. We went
on an elephant ride! We traveled through the jungle and across rivers. It was quite scary being so high up on
an elephant, but it was still great fun.

After Varkala, we spent a few days on a houseboat traveling down a river. We stopped once at a village
and met a local family who invited us to eat with them. The food was traditional food from Kerala. It was
quite spicy and full of different flavors. After that, the local children taught us a traditional Indian board
game called Carroms. We also did some fishing from the boat and I caught my first fish! We cooked it and it
tasted great!
