Off to India!
30 hours. Exhausting!
Kochi/Cochi/Cochin, India
Bolgatty Palace & Island Resort, Ernakulam, India
It was a rather exhausting 30 hour flight, but the last leg I got a free upgrade to first class so I was able to catch a few hours of sleep and not be completely wasted when I got to Cochin. My flight was from Providence, Rhode Island-->Chicago, Illinois-->New Delhi, India-->Cochin, India. Air India provided complimentary food and drinks, woo hoo!
Interesting that my final destination city is variously referred to as Cochin, Cochi, and Kochi, but where the plane actually landed was in Ernakulam.
Tuk-tuk (taxi)
With unusual foresight, I had printed out a map of where the boat harbor was, because I don't speak a word of Hindu and my driver didn't speak any English either. Sure made it easy to just show the map and kick back with my packs while the driver negotiated the terrible traffic and delivered my to my final destination...the International Boat Harbor near Bolgatty Palace & Island Resort!
This is for real...finally off on an EPIC adventure......
