Day 15 – To the Islands

It’s two weeks ago since we landed in Chennai and launched our adventure – and it really does feel like one. Time has just blurred into a mass of sights, smells and sounds, and we have had to refer back to the blog to remember what we have done!

Anyway, today was scheduled to be a bit dull as it is our last longish drive. But before that we finished off Kochi – especially the synagogue which obviously wasn’t open yesterday. Kerala is an interesting mass of religions, and everyone we speak to seems to agree that they all muddle along quite happily together.

Second stop was our favourite place for coffee – see pics from yesterday.

And then 4 hours south down the coast to Munroe Islands.

Not on the coast, but on a small peninsula between a lake and a river. We were dozing in the back of the car when we came unexpectedly to a car ferry – well sort of.

Essentially a couple of canoes with a platform nailed to them. But it worked.

And then sometimes you walk into a hotel room and decide you like the view.

Especially when it also faces west.

Boats and canoes tomorrow, and probably plenty of R&R.
