Kochi
Fisherman in early morning we hired a driver to take William and bone to Coimbatore in the state of Tamil Nadu from Kochi in Kerala. We need to be in Coimbatore to pickup Jan (friend of Williams from Albuquerque who should be in great shape since that trip takes 55 hours via Atlanta, Paris and Chennai) and Hugh (from Singapore via Chennai) before we head up into the Nigiri hills town of Ooty.
Heres a flowery tourism description of Coimbatore but it appears to me to be a spawling, noisy, indian city -- http://www.touristplacesinindia.com/coimbatore/about-coimbatore.html
All the pix below are from the 5 hr trip up into the hills from the coastal waterways. Heres a nice writeup on Fort Cochin (which is also called Kochi) : http://www.frommers.com/destinations/cochin/3480010029.html
