We took the ferry over to Fort Kochi this morning, another example of cheap public transport with the single trip for all 6 of us costing Rs10 which is about 15p.
Arrived in Fort Kochi and made our way past the usual touts, Tuk Tuk drivers all looking for business. Having walked a few hundred yards up the road we stopped as we actually had no idea where we were going. It was then that we saw two Tuk Tuks parked up and the young drivers offered to show us
the sights for Rs100 for a whole days hire. As we drove off the guy driving turned round to us and said 'welcome to my aircooled Ferrari'! This set the scene well and we had a great day buzzing about Fort Kochi, seeing the Chinese fishing nets, the old Fort ruins, the churches and not forgetting the 'locals' resturant, which was devoid of any locals although there were a lot of tourists who kept turning up in Tuk Tuks....wonder how many had asked to 'eat where the locals eat'?! Having said that the meal we had was excellent and a real mountain of food.
In the evening we headed to the seafood resturant in the hotel and had lovely fresh fish.
