This morning we spent more time just hanging out at the ashram and observing life here. All in all we're both glad we came here for a look but can't see ourselves becoming long term stayers / devotees.
At 3pm we checked out and went across the river to wait for the boat to come and take us to Kollam. The journey for the first hour was amazing with lush palm trees lining the water's edge, eagles soaring above, and jellyfish working their way against the current.
Just as the sun was setting we arrived at Ashtamudi lake where fishermen worked the shallow waters and we enjoyed watching the sunset over the ocean and backwaters simultaneously. 
As the dark shadow of night fell on the water, lights suspended from the huge fishing nets sparkled alive to attract the fish and we floated into Kollam. 
Once in Kollam we found a pretty dingy room for the night, and set off for dinner and drinks.
Adlibing it to another backwater town.
