Day Five It was all aboard the ferry for the 20 minute ride over to Ernakulem, then a trek along Shanmugham Road to the Vodafone shop. The guy who served us in the shop was about as much use as a chocolate teapot. All we wanted was to top up with 3GB of data, but he had no idea what we were talking about so we left empty handed but with a promise he would text the relevant info to us. Needless to say we never received a text message from him. The day was not a complete waste of time, we...Read Full Story

We arrived in Ernakulam at 5.30am. It was still dark, so we decided to wait in the KSRTC bus station. We found seat in the cafe and got a drink. I went outside for a cigarette, when I returned Laura was very eager to leave. Apart from the unpleasant smell and dirt it was also a popular hangout joint for cockroaches, huge cockroaches. We went outside and asked a tuk-tuk driver the cost of driving us to Fort Cochin, he quoted us Rs.250 with no room for haggling. We weren’t sure what we should...Read Full Story

Random acts of hoteling. We arrived in Fort Cochin very early in the morning with no hotel accommodation booked. We’d intended to find a cafe where I could wait and rest my injured foot while Richard looked round to find us somewhere to stay.

Richard asked if they were open for breakfast. They were, so...Read Full Story

We needed to use up the data credit on our Vodafone India account before it ran out, and Laura was more then happy to oblige so she stayed at Arches Hotel uploading photos to Instgram and messaging her friends while I went roaming round Fort Cochin for a couple of hours. I did not discover anything of major interest, apart from a restaurant menu at the Fort House Hotel/Restaurant that held promise, and even more so because the restaurant was closed at lunch time for a private function and I...Read Full Story

Day Three Laura was laid up in bed all day with food poisoning from the meal we had the night before at the Fort House Hotel and Restaurant, Fort Cochin. I kept her company all day, and while she was resting and recovering I managed to get some mundane blog tasks done. Day Four We needed to go from Fort Cochin to Ernakulam to visit the Vodafone shop to top up our phone data. It was a 15 minute walk from Hotel Arches to the ferry terminus, we arrived only to discover that there was ZERO...Read Full Story
