Stay
Where to sleep
The houseboat was the stay. Do not also pay for a hotel that night.

A day on the public ferry, then one night on a boat. Not a three-day cruise.

Before you go. Ask what is included before you board. Mosquitoes are part of the night.
The public ferry shows you the canals for the price of a ticket. The houseboat is the bed.
Alleppey jetty in the morning. Back before dark.
Board in the afternoon. Dinner on the boat. Off in the morning and out.
Stay

Move
One shared seat in. Walk after that. Leave a buffer on the day you go home.
