A trip to R-Block

Have you ever woken up a beautiful morning and wanted to do something refreshing, something really different from your routine day. Then I've got an option for you - “Toddy with Mango” at R-Block in Kumarakam. I’ve tried it and its surprisingly really cool.

Abhilash, Edwin, Sajan and I headed out to Kumarakam one day. After a lot of travelling we finally reached Kodimatha Boat Station. @#@$@%$%$% :: LOL The first thing we saw was a drunk man shouting all sorts of filthy words to all travellers who sat in the boat. :D Ha-ha. It was a funny sight. Anyway we didn't care much. We got on the boat and we started our trip - destination “R-Block”.

Wow...As soon as the boat started from the port I felt the magic begin. I’m sure no one could ever sleep in this ride. Trees arranged in a perfect order, the blue sky, blue sea, swarm of ducks passing along side by side with the boat..all perfect. A Gorgeous View. With this ride we could see the conditions the locals live in but they were really happy to see visitors on the boats passing by. Kids laughing and waving hand, people swimming, some fishing. Most of us grabbed the cameras and started taking shots of all what we could get. What ever we take will never grab the true beauty of this place. Its true beauty can only be captured in our mind. The picturesque was magnificent.




Peoples only transport here


Dancing Ducks LOL

Speacial House boat for tourists


After 45 minutes of travel we stepped out of the boat. A green color painted home stood right in front of us. As we entered a huge grin came upon our faces. Its "Toddy" time :) . We started with a bottle 4 glasses and 4 Tapioca-fry,Fish curry(a great combination). As specialities we ordered the Great Dragon Prawn adn Pearl Spot Fish (Karemeen) all hot and spicy...just right!!! By the end of meals we realised we had finished three bottles of Toddy. LOL. Abhilash was singing and i think i remember Edwin laughing A LOT. LOL

Later we hung out at the bridge and started photoshoot...The master photographers being Abhilash and Sajan and the handsome models being Me and Edwin :D . I could feel the wind passing by me which had rthe aroma of freedom and peace. It was a really special moment for us all.

We knew by about 3:30pm theres another boat back to Kottayam, So we ordered another bottle of Toddy this time a new combination "Toddy with Mango". I'm sure only a very few people has tried it. When ever you come to R-Block try this out and let me know.. :)

By the end of that bottle we were stuffed. The boat arrived and it was time to bid bye to Prashanth. We boarded the boat back to Kottayam.

Wow!!! it was one great jolly weekend. Hoping to go there another day.
