Commuting Between Kochi And Kumily
As we’ve travelled, we’ve tended to spend a while thinking about our onward travels and booking accommodation and transport in advance where possible - it’s nice not having to faff about too much at the last minute - and we’ve found it’s always worked really well for us. However, we needed to make some short notice …
