Cochin, India - April 25

fishing nets



huge sacks of spices

Today, sadly, was the lowlight of our vacation so far.  Nothing unfortunate happened, but Cochin, India was terribly underwhelming.  One thing that was kind of interesting to see was a truck full of huge sacks of spices.  Our tour included driving through the city which was much cleaner than Madras and less thick with people and traffic.  We also visited a palace, a church (the first church in Asia), a small fishing area (which was basically a tourist trap) and we finished with a harbour cruise.  The harbour cruise was not great as we had just seen the shipyards of Cochin as we sailed into the port.  Too bad about toady, but it got us that much more excited about the next few days at the Taj Mahal!
