Woke up on the boat (‘God’s Advice’) and enjoyed breakfast made by the onboard cook (‘Chef’). We pulled in the ropes and made our journey back to the boat jetty. The end of a beautiful, relaxing o/n trip on the Kerala backwaters. Highly recommend it….if only for the respite from the hustle and bustle of the cities. Keralan people are generally really nice and the food (I think) is the best in India. There is a much greater use of fresh fruit and vegetables in their cooking…and of course the seafood is second to none.
Took the train to Kochi where we checked into Maple residency.

Checked out of the Palmy Residency after breakfast. Highly recommend that budget hotel. Only 500 rupees (A$16) for a large spotless double room with cable TV and ensuite in a modern boutique hotel, close to town centre and the Kerala backwaters. The two guys that worked there were also very nice and helpful.
