Nutmeg. So beautiful! This red skin is edible. Tastes like nutmeg, a bit spicy:

We're going back. In addition to many coconut and rubber plantations, there are also many pineapple plantations. Kerala seems to be very rich, a green paradise. It is incomprehensible to me why the country is poor. Nature seems so full of wealth.

I was often amazed along the way; I saw a lot of curiositys.
Like, for example, this transport of wood - would be forbidden in Austria and who knows how much fine you would have to pay!

Rexoni stopped at the church (so I could take photos :))
Very beautiful churches here:

Fermented palm wine:
It is tapped from the coconut palm, no sugar or anything else in it.
A little bit nutty in taste. It takes a few sips to get used to the taste, but after half the glass it tastes better and better.😬

Cocoa:
I saw it for the first time, it tasted very bitter, I didn't like it. But if you like bitter, it gives you instant energy, similar to coffee.
