Linda and Mals Asian Adventure: Fort Cochin Kerala

Fort Cochin, Kerala. We arrived in Fort Cochin late in the afternoon from Ooty. The temperature when we left Ooty was minus 1 and Fort Cochin was about 35 degrees so some temperature gradient ! The waterfront has some remaining Old Chinese Fishing nets which are still used today. The town is quite small and has some excellent eating places, we also met up again with Colin and Sue and we have planned to do a rice boat trip with them, the cost is quite high but sharing it makes it a doable option. Yesterday we went on backwaters trip on a non motorised boat, very peaceful but not a lot of wildlife to be seen which was a bit of a surprise. We also saw a local parade with colourful costumes and Elephants.. all in all a really nice break.
