« T > K > K »

T = Trivandrum

Largest town in from Neyyar Dam --
Mina and I spent a day there wandering around. We found this great coffee shop called Indian Coffee House III - about a 30ft high brick cyclindrical building with pastel colors inside.


K = Kovalam
Beach town just an hour away from Trivandrum. We took a rickshaw here. Town was full of local tourists as for them this is their peak season...

K = Kochi

One of my favorite's so far.

We took a train, sleeper class for 4.5 hours up to Kochi. We stayed in Fort Cochin. Great restaurants - Dal Roti, Teapot and Kashi Art Space. There is much influence from Dutch and Portuguese here. We found this beautiful sherbet, pastel colored church painted the lightest blush color. So pretty, it felt like the inside of a cake or something. It had a large fishing area... so extraordinary the contraptions they had to fish with but the seafood looked delicious and fresh - guys hanging around to cook it fresh for you at one of the local shacks for about 50Rs. And then we came upon Toddy. It is sold along the roadside - it is a fermented palm sap drink that is extremely, extremely strong. Many locals go for ride to the outskirts to try this - a quick, cheap way to get a "lift"... It tastes somewhat like fermented sake... and served with hard boiled eggs and chili powder. I could only handle a few sips of this stuff. Phew.
