Ernakulam Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

Tuesday 19th may - Ernakulam, Kerala

Just arrived here after an epic train journey. Our train arrived in typical Indian style 1&1/4 hours late! Our bunks were in the non a/c part of the train, this has he advantage of being able to see/open photograph out the windows, but is very HOT. This was made worse by the fact we were allocated two top bunks with no window! The train was ...

Kochi

Not sure why, but neither of us could sleep on that boat. Amongst my reasons were that by feet had been bitten about 20 times by bloody mosquitos, bed bugs, and every other insect going and I wanted to scratch them down to the bone. Got back to Allaphuza around 9am then straight to the bus station for the bumpy 90 minute trip to Kochi. Got a tuc...

Early this morning we finished all our last minute packing ... oh gawd ... our bags are so heavy with all the shopping we did at Ernakulam! Plus wait ... there's more ... we had to take the ferry back there to collect Alan's pants and do some shopping for Donovan! When we got off the ferry ... oh yes, let me tell you I was wrong, it did not cost...

Heading south..where it's even more humid!

Made it to Cochin in one piece, 15 hour train journey wasn't too bad although I'm convinced I was the only white person on the train! Well it wasn't too bad apart from the noisy Indians in my compartment, first they decided to put the lights off about 9pm (train only left at 8pm) so that was the end of me trying to read. Got to sleep after a cou...

The feeling of euphoria quickly evaporated, but I continued to enjoy being in India; many o...

Kerala, India

Another time capsule transports us from Bangalore, 1200km Southwest to a seashore. The beach is in a small cove surrounded by maroon cliffs with palm trees along its edge. My eyes don't open cloudy in the mornings. They instead look out the window and stare through palm leaves into the Arabaic Sea. Cool winds blow through in the evening and morn...
