kochi

got the ferry over to fort cochin (Rs2.5 on the way, Rs3 on the way back - an extra 50Ps for the privilege of being deposited at an inconvenient pier). pretty nice - no one hassling me to buy anything (actually thats mostly true for all of this town, but in this particular case it was because all of the shops for most of the way I walked were rice-and-spice wholesalers who had obviously worked out that the white-man tourists did not want to buy 15kg bags of their produce). Later today, after I get my train ticket to "somewhere in Goa" I'll probably go back and walk the other direction from the ferry pier.
