Arrived in Fort Kochi (Fort Cochin) today after my backwater village homestay

I spent 2 great days in a backwater village homestay in Chennamkary (island) near Alleppey. Wow. Way cool.

Today I arrived in Fort Cochin which is a more relaxing (tourist ghetto) part of Kochi (Cochin), on a peninsula by the open ocean. There are cool Chinese-style fishing nets on large cantilevered poles here (the unofficial emblem of Kerala, apparently).

All 3 of my 2GB memory cards are filled up (granted, I’ve been taking pictures at maximum 7 mega pixel resolution) despite trimmint the size on photos on my current card-in-camera 3 times in the last 3 days to make more room (since if I’m not going to print a photo, it doesn’t really need to be that high res).

Tonight I had dinner with the three fun ex-pats (Gallant, Jing and Leslie) from Hong Kong whom I met in the homestay (and I bumped into Anne from the Alleppey canoe ride here as well).
