Kerala with mercury holidays

Is poor Kerala not really suffering just now due to terrible flooding? They might have a lot of difficulty rebuilding for a while. Holiday companies might hold back for a while?(I know people need the tourist money but the area was seriously damaged. Infrastructure affected)

We went on a fantastic tour of Kerala with Saga a few years back. Probably a bit more expensive than Mercury, but very good value. Included travel insurance and car to and from home to airport.

I am amazed that anyone would even think of going to Kerala so soon. The place has been destroyed, so many have died or lost everything in recent terrible floods.

Also as a result of the floods, many are dying from diseases carried in the water.

I don't think tour operators will be advising going there anyway.

We were supposed to go to a wedding there in November- we went to the Austrian part in May (bride is Austrian, and groom from Kerala- one of our musician friends)- but it has of course had to be postponed to next November.

His parents are OK, they live near Cochin - but the devastation is truly awful.

If you can support one of the charities trying to help, with tents, covers, clothes, food and medicines- please do so. Thanks.
