God's Own Country's Trip - part 3
The story so far:
part un
part deux
(Cruise along the Cochin harbour , 21st May 2006)
After a train journey that seemed to take forever in the extreme heat, we finally managed to reach Cochin. Kutty's house presented a welcome sight, as we went about getting rid of all the grime and filth we accumulated on our sojourn the luggage compartment.
After getting all freshened up, we proceeded to have lunch at 5 PM in the evening, so that all the delicious food cooked wouldn't end up going waste. The wonderful meal we had just went on to reinforce for the millionth time how home food was the tastiest ever!
Based on Kutty brother's recommendations, we proceeded after that awesome meal towards the Cochin harbour, where the plan was for us to hire a cruise boat and chill out in the waters of the harbour. At the sum of Rs.400 per hour, we managed to rent a boat, appropriately named "Hari Krishnan", for an hour and a half.
What we did on the cruise was to sit and chill out on the ship, and take in the sights and sounds of the harbour area, look at all the huge ships and cargo containers and the brilliant skyline of the city, and generally play the fool for Gaurav's handycam to record our errant behaviour for posterity.
The co-operative and friendly boat crew also stopped by at some harbour bar and restaurant for us to buy beer and chug it to our heart's content on the boat. The beer, combined with the cool sea breeze and the natural beauty of the harbour on our gentle cruise were all the right ingredients for an unforgettable evening.
Pictures speak louder than words, and they would do more justice to the beauty of the harbour, than any description of mine.

Neville's camera helped us capture these wonderful moments.
