More for the Indian Road Code....

Hi all,

M pretty much covered the haps for today. Thought during the bus ride to and from the canals I managed to suss out a few more of the road rules around here:

Overtaking...
1. If you think you cant make it..... you can
2. If you know you cant make it..... honk your horn and you can

3. Theres no such thing as GIVE WAY
4. Never, in any circumstances STOP

[/b]The boat rides
Also, in true India style the boat broke down after the first leg. Nobody bothers to tell you about this though but we (the Germans, Spanish and ourselves) kinda figured it out after 20 minute of still be tied to the island. In the end they managed to make one working engine out of the parts from two and we were on our way once again.

Fairly good trip, well worth it. Have since got a mean seafood feed at Fort Kochin and been checking out the local stores (mainly art & craft). Some pretty mean stuff that I think I'm gonna have to buy before we cruise outta here the day after tomorrow.

We opted for the prawns rather than the "Fry-D oistures and muscles" (good England, huh?) and they went straight from the seamongers table into the pot at this food stall / restraunt on the beach. Decent prawns but waaaaay overcooked - India style, so a bit of a waste.

Haha, the waiter at the beach / pavement restraunt type thing we had the prawns at recommended this bar to me. We cruised down to check it out and but it was so ridiculously dark and seedy we had to leave. Even located down a dark alleyway! Cant wait till Bangalore / Goa where drinking isnt such a subculture.
