The (almost ready) new Kochi International Marina and the Marina House, just a couple of weeks before we arrived.

With all the new police boats in.

Time for the mayhem to commence!

        Cool off time in the Bolgatty Palace Hotel pool. 

                       The final Vasco da Gama Rally meeting.                                                                               Cockpit rain covers on!

                   And the rains came!  The start of the SW monsoon season.                    

After the rain, we get weed washed down from upstream, which is trapped by the marina pontoons.

The weed comes and goes with the daily tides.

                   Bolgatty Palace Hotel frontage and honeymoon cottages to the rear. 

                   Nazar......tuk-tuk driver and purveyor of supplies!                                       The lane from the marina to the Ernakulam ferry.

               Our nearest shop, at the end of the lane to the ferry.                                                          The marina from the ferry.
