At long last, after days and days of insane travelling that now seems so far away, we have made it to Kochi. We're staying at a place called Bijus in Ernakulam - a nice enough hotel close to the waterfront.
Altogether, in the last two days we have done this:
Jan 31: night train from Udaipur to Ahmedabad Feb 1: flight from Ahmedabad to Bangalore Feb 1: train from Bangalore to Mysore in the evening Feb 3: bus from Mysore to Ooty Feb 3: train from Ooty to Coimbatore Feb 4: train from Coimbatore to Kochi
Writing it out, it doesn't seem like so much but we sure were beat until that sleepy night in Coimbatore. We had actually tried to change our train into a sleeper that night, but now I'm sure we're both very happy we got some sleep instead of the half-sleep we get on trains.
We walked around Kochi tonight and wandered into a little pavilion that was selling stuff at Indian prices. This was quite neat for us so we snapped up a few souveniers and then went for dinner and ice-cream. That's it for now, I'll flesh out these posts with pictures tomorrow.
"Kochi at last!"
