(^88) Cherai Beach - Fort Kochi – 28 km
Cherai Beach was an excellent spot to hang out, but the accommodation was a
tad pricy and we felt it best to move along. A short and enjoyable ride ran to
Kochi, with the Arabian Sea to our right and the Kerala backwaters on the left.
A short ferry ride brought us to Fort Kochi island. Kochi had a relaxed feel and
our early arrival gave us plenty of time to wander around and watch the famous
Chinese fishing nets in action—contraptions resembling spider webs repeatedly
dipped into the water at high tide.
We were lucky to catch a Kathakali show, which was told through drama, music,
dancing, and hand gestures. The costumes, make-up, and headgear were
extraordinary, and the show lasted at least an hour.
