One of our favorite places for a convenient escape to nature is Hareskoven (translates, the Hare Forest), just north of Copenhagen.

Yerevan, Armenia

On to Kochi and Ernakulam, the bustling capital of Kerala. Kochi was a small port city with a unique mix of colonial architecture, busy with spice and grain trade.

Kerala was a nice change of pace after starting our travels with the fluid chaos of Delhi. We managed to find some beautiful beaches frequented by locals (and wildlife) rather than tourists....





..and learned a bit about Kerala's unique cultural and political history


..explored some of the bustling villages

...and hopped on and off trains, starting in Trivandrumpuram and heading north along the Malabar coast.

Escapism: India - part 1

The view from the back seat of a rickshaw (or 'Tuk Tuk') seems like a dream to me know. Our holiday adventure to India was an all around spectacular trip, with its share of both challenges and rewards.

I will spread out my photos over a few posts this week, starting with Delhi. Despite all of the advice and tales friends of mine shared about visits to Delhi, I had a refreshing culture shock from my first step outside of the airport arrival hall.

The fluid chaos of the streets.

The ever present haze which adds a dramatic touch to all photos.

The infamous street-food. And valuable advice from a local that we should only visit the busy ones for the freshest food.

And then on to Kerala on the south west coast where relaxation begins.....
