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.
