Last Updated 29 Apr, 2020 R Qube 0 987 views

Colachal being 15 -18 kms away from our home was one of the places which was once damaged during Tsunami. The damage was too worst leaving nightmare for us to visit the harbour. Whenever we hear the word Colachal we remember the huge burial of tsunami hit people. Now let’s see our present memories of Colachal for #reneeandinnus .

During our #indiantrip we had a chance to visit the harbour and Innus being the biggest fan of ten commandments movie, changed our memories of Colachal. Yes, she started to scream the Red sea scene of the movie .

The Skoda ride for her in the fishing harbour looked similar to the above video clip. So from that day we had frequent visits to keep her memories fresh.

Our love for coffee..

A very big hai to everyone who are following my blog posts.

For the past few days we are running around the word hyperemesis gravidarum and on our travel to Germany. Today let’s have some good old memories of my childhood days in Irenipuram. Whenever we pay a visit to Irenipuram, we just ask our Grandma (ammachi), ” Can we have a cup of your famous filter coffee?”. Yes, we are a big fan of her style of Kumbakonam filter coffee. So whenever my grandma asked “what do you want?”, we just ask for her filter coffee. And still now the famous coffee maker of hers is a treasure of our kitchen.

Whenever we hear coffee it brings smile on our face and the same happened when we had a visit to Munnar, so our artificial eyes captured what we saw, thus we had a memory snap of coffee plantation….

Lets travel along with the love for coffee….., Yes, there are so many memories for us revolving around coffee…. During our first air travel we had the transit in Doha and being coffee lover, somehow found the biggest cup and had a big cup full of coffee from the hotel till flight take off…..and thats when we understood we shouldn’t feed babies with fluids during takeoff and landing…..and found a technique teether. When we had our first visit to Metzingen, I came across different coffee collection from Tchibo. Since my grandma was a big fan of coffee I decided to present her with different flavours of coffee from Germany. Though I had the Skype call till last hour before her death and my parents hid that from me. Since I will ask my parents to delay, the last procedures till my return. Since Iniya was two months old, it’s hard for our travel to India. On the day of her funeral mass we were in Metzingen and I bought a pair of instant coffee bottle from Tchibo……and it reached India flying without knowing that the receiver is no more.

And I packed them to India through his parents who were returning on new year eve.

The small study city Tuebingen of Germany is famous for Music and Theology, welcomes the spring with many events and one among them is the antique market. The market holds an antique collection for the antique lovers. I was able to visit this market for the first time and I am amazed to see the antique items in the market square in front of the Rathaus. People from near by town reached the spot to grab their offers in the collection to add beauty to their home. While staying in Tuebingen its a must to watch event, of welcoming the spring.

Our next eye catching spot is the market square with the Rathaus(town hall), and historical buildings. The Neptune fountain is just in front of the town hall and is surrounded by the cobbled streets. We heard that the building was three floors in 1435 and was extended upwards in 1508. I was amazed to see the ornate Astronomical clock of 1511 which is still working as the Mathenmani clock in Trivandrum. Another amazing effect of the Rathaus is the painting on the wall facing the market square. The market square is the location for all the events like Chocolart, Christmas market, Antique market and so on.

Muttom Beach

We all do remember the Tsunami which crawled the coastline of India on 26/12/2004, creating a huge loss to mankind. Muttom is one of the worst affected beaches which is kilometers away from our home. We used to go to the beach during our childhood and after Tsunami we visited for the first time with my daughter. We reached there for the sunset and spent few hours of our time. The coastline is full of rocks rather than sand. We searched for shells in the coast and collected a few for my daughter’s travelogue file. I do remember my mom collecting black sand from this beach during my childhood visits. And yes we took some for our travelogue jar.

In-spite of its beauty it is a dangerous beach.

Neckar

The place worth to be visited in Tübingen is the Neckar river. The river is born in the Schwenningen, Black forest (706 m above mean sea level). The river discharges into the Rhine river. There is a special kind of boating in the river during summer, known as stocherkahn, amidst serene beauty of the riverbank. The holderlin tower is at its best view from the island or from stocherkahn.
