kochi Day 5.

We went to Mattecheri to see the Dutch palace and synagogue. THERE is a museum  in the Dutch palace and nothing much. THE Synagogue is a very old Jewish temple. I have never seen a jewish temple ,so it was new to me.

What was interesting to me was nearby antique market. I bought a marble elephant at Rs 600.

Then we went to Fort Kochi to see  ST. FRANCIS CHURCH. It was a very old church.

Then we went to edapally at vypin Island to see a kerala museum. There was a doll’s museum  exhibiting dolls from all over the world.

Then we saw a light and sound show showing the history of kerala from B.C. era to present day. It was good.

kochi day 4

Conference started. And i went there in the workshop. This I was the worst workshop i have ever seen.  IT showed videos of operation and no live operation. undoubtedly the worst.  The food was also the the worse.

I also shifted to Dream cochin a 5 star Hotel. But food quality is poor. Rooms are good, well furnished, two plasma tv. My room no is 1407.

kochi day 3

We went to hill palace. It was on top of a hillock.  There are many royal (of Cochin And Travancore) belongings there.  They wont allow any camera, mobile inside the museum. We have to take off your shoes before entering it but it is well maintained and clean. so no problem in walking barefoot.

In the evening we went for a cruise along the backwater. It was very good. Once  the boat came to shallow water and nearly turned over. we have our hearts in our mouth. otherwise it was a very good experience. one can see all the main islands and their anatomy from the water. Tall buildings lining the costal margins is a treat to see.

kochi

we came to kochi day before yesterday. I really couldnot manage time and space to write my daily blog.

We boarded the train at Shalimar. It is a new station near howrah. It was AC 3 tier coach. there was another family travelling with us in the same coup. We had a great time with them, Their teen aged daughters managed Aheli.

We got down at Ernakulam Station. Car was waiting at the station. they brought us to Hotel International. It is not a five star hotel but a small hotel with all good facilities like central AC , bah tubs, carpetted floor ( and a few mosquitoes too).

it is quite hot in kochi. It is near xmas and nobody is requiring warm clothes. we are travelling in Ac car and AC is on in the room.

On site seeing on day one, we were pretty disappointed. There is not much to see. We went to a Jew synagogue but it was closed. We went to fort Kochi. We saw Chinese fishing Nets there. Aheli and I was bitten by wasp while trying taking a photo. We went to Marine Drive. And we had a walk there. Lot of Boating facilities are there. Then we came back and had a lunch in the hotel.

In the evening we went to Cherai beach. It was a long beach. Many people were taking a bath there. WE stayed there for about 3 hours.

we enjoyed the beach and it resemblance with puri  beach.
