We rode East, through canal country, with a mix of tourism and agriculture, and then traveled through little hills to a resort on the Eastern edge of the lagoon (aka backwater) near Kollam.
Lovely ride on small, relatively smooth roads with lots of people all along.
No more bullock carts, but I saw three working elephants traveling on the road. Each elephant had two keepers; one riding and one leading.
We all rode quite fast. I averaged over 25k, despite stopping to shoot pictures. The resort is a pleasant place to relax, and enjoy the windy warmth like a hot summer day at home.
