Cochin
... inflated prices the swolen dead cats and rubbish that were pulled out each time the nets were raised were enough to keep us sticking to vegetables. Cochin was great but worth leaving the beaten track, after three days we had definatly seen ...
after the boat trip
so we took the boat up the back waters to Amritapuri the ashram of the hugging saint (well, hugging mahatma as they would say there). it really could have been called the back yard tour because the entire waterway is lined with houses, farms etc and the ...

Kerala
Lang aan het strand blijven liggen is niet echt ons ding, alhoewel het in Gokharna prachtig was, en we zijn dan maar weer verder getrokken.. Op naar Madikeri, in de Kodagu regio, terug landinwaarts. Onderweg naar de honey-valley estate, waar nu vooral ...
Mumbai to Kerala - travels with Imodium

Sealed with a kiss?
... my re-entry into the 'real world' but as soon as I arrived in Kerala, it felt like a different country altogether. Fort Cochin is a sweet little town where I found families out walking along the beach front with their children to look at ...
Christmas Day, one to forget...

We stopped at a tea factory after leaving the sanctuary en route to the city of Cochin. A Victorian cotton mill couldn't have created as much noise. Interesting as it was to learn about the crushing and drying process, I left disappointed not to be ...
The Chinese Fishing Net place.
