On the second day of our Kerala Boat Cruise, we started the morning with breakfast. As it was day 11 of our India Travels, we have already gotten used to local tastes and culture…

This morning, breakfast included tea, butter toast and as well as an Indian vermicelli. With the views of the Kerala backwaters, it was an idyllic and lovely morning as we cruised through the alleyways…

By 8am in the morning, our cruise along the backwaters of Kerala came to an end 😢 We boarded our transport to Kochi and arrived at about 9:15am due to good traffic on a Sunday morning. We started with a visit to the Mattancherry Palace Museum (5 rupees per person)…

At Mattancherry Palace Museum, we learnt about the history of Kochi as well as the many Kings of Kochi (we learnt that many of the Kings had the same name – Rama Varma Ravi). We also wanted to visit the Jewish Synagogue. Unfortunately, it was not open till 10am. Nonetheless, we were intrigued by the colours from this perfume/incense store in Kochi…
