We all love traveling. It can be a family trip, study trip, study tour or any other. However, it teaches many things, making us aware of the world.
It all started with a train journey .The sun was going to burst out with its yellow light. We were on the way to Ernakulam. It was a four hour journey from Calicut. As I was not used to train journeys, initially I found it boring. But gradually I overcame it and wholeheartedly enjoyed it. We reached there. Clear sky, streets with crowds. But the atmosphere was blissful. We had Masala Dosa from a hotel adjacent to the railway station. After getting into a room, we set out for exploring.
Our first destination was Fort Kochi. Non- Indians and Foreigners were the regular visitors there. We started our marine journey. I could find the Cochin shipyard, High Court of Kerala, Bolgatty Palace. For approximately two hours we enjoyed the marine drive. It made me think of the fact that water transport is the cheapest means of transport.
Lunch was from Indian Coffee house. Chicken Biryani which was so different from Malappuram ones. Then we returned to our rooms.By dusk, we went to Kochi Metro. The evening was splendid. The Metro journey made me think of settling there. The roads, buildings, forests moved fast whereas we stood still. Our next destination was Lulu Mall
Lulu mall is multifaceted. The security welcomed us. Ground floor alone was crowded with both shops as well as customers. We spent almost two hours there. However, it made us aware of the fact that visits to such malls should be in the morning. After returning from there, we could find some of the places unnoticed. Next time it would be compensated . We reached the lodge by metro. The lodge was in the middle of the city.Dinner was from Lulu. Aloo paratha and paneer. Then on the next day, we took a bus to Kottayam which was our next destination.
