Kashmiri house boats.

The Kashmiris have built up an amzing good and luxurious tourist accomodation system withn their house boats. Old english furniture with quite intricate woodwork all over, a dinning room, a living room and some sort of, what i presume is english, toilet on every boat, seperate bedrooms with attached bathrooms. You eat on the boat and the food is good and healthy and as much as you can eat served with tasty kashmiri tea. The Moghuls as well as the english colonisators definetely knew how to live it up when they came to Kashmir. Nowadays the boats are nearly desrted of tourists because of the independence struggle and only hippies, alternative types and marijuana smokers come here to live it up. The boat has got its own Shikara so i think i will be out today and explore the lake.
