OK, a cruising blog has to have a boat trip in it, right? Today we boarded a four bedroom houseboat and are spending the next two days cruising the lake and associated canal system. I’m in heaven!

The area is full of river cruising boats. Ours is one of the larger ones with four very comfortable bedrooms with individual heads, a glass-walled dining room that can easily seat 10 people, an open area sitting area in the bow behind the helm and an upstairs viewing room that could double as a small dance hall–really! I’m in heaven again!

The blue dot in the canal above Moola Arayiram was our position at the time I started writing this blog entry.
