The beginning of Bangalore
A rickshaw, ferry, taxi and plane ride later...
31.01.2006
Hey all,
This is gonna be brief as I have 4minutes on the net here! We've now left Fort Cochin thanks to Kingfisher Air and are currently in Bangalore. Thought we'd check out some of the wacked stuff the 'Sai Baba' faith is meant to have (apparently theres a whole mini-city here with airport, hospital and all!) plus see what else Bangalore has to offer before we fly to Goa the day after tomorrow.
Walked around the beach area in Fort Cochin this morning int he hope of seeing the Chineese Fishing Nets (they're wicked wharf-like moving structures) acutally be brought but with some fish in them....and we were in luck! I even got invited to help pull one down / in (all these guys pull down on ropes, which makes the net come in) which was a bit of fun. But, as Indian tourism goes nothing is free and I found out after that I had to part with some coin for the experience.
Currently trying to find accomodation in Bangalore, hopefully only gonna go cheapo for one night and go somewhere nice the second!
In other news I lost my Aviators off the side of the ferry in Kochin as we were getting off, amongst the hustle and bustle while (literally) jumping off the ferry.
The End
