We haven’t realized and Christmas day was gone and a new day was here. Got up on time in the morning, and before we realized it our boat was sailing through waters. Our return journey had started. In the meantime we got ready and by the time we have had our breakfast our boat was parked at Alleppey city. There our driver was ready with the car for our onwards journey. Our first halt was at Alleppey beach. We roamed around on beach for about half an hour and then we returned back to continue our journey.
After about an hour drive we reached Cochin/Kochi. After roaming for a while in town we went to Jew Street, there we decided first to visit synagogue. But we found out that Synagogues are generally closed on Fridays and Saturdays. Next we went to visit Dutch Palace Museum. It was exactly not a palace, rather it was a single story building with few rooms on first floor with some historical stuff of kings who ruled the state in past. After this we went to the beach to see Chinese Fishing Nets. By now it was almost 3 and we were hungry so we decided to look for a good restaurant so that we can have our lunch.
While we were searching a good place to eat we found St. Francis Church. Two of us went inside and third one chose to stay out. Inside both of us talked a while about his (third one’s) behavior as since last day he was acting somewhat weird and we were not aware of it, and somehow got frustrated as what’s going on. Later I found out through some reliable source that he had some tiff with someone, and also due to some incidences in recent past he perhaps had became atheist, and that’s why he chose to stay out at church.
After about 30-40 mins we came back to beach and then have had our lunch there only. From there we went Kochi Chowpaty. There in order to kill some time we entered the nearby mall, from there one of my friends brought a shirt for him. After that we decided to go for a boat ferry in the sea. After boat ferry we walked around for a while on Kochi Chowpaty and met our trip organizer.
During our trips we generally have had Pizza as our one of the meals, and this was missing on this trip. In the morning when we were roaming around in Cochin, through one of the billboards we found address on Pizza Hut and we immediately decided to have our trip’s final dinner over there. Incidentally it was near to Ernakulam bus stand from where we had our bus for Bengaluru. After dinner our driver left us at bus stand at around 8:30 PM. Our bus was coming from Thiruvananthapuram and it was suppose to leave for Bengaluru from Ernakulam Bus Stand at 9 PM but it was late. In the meantime we heard some of the rumors that all buses are canceled as KSRTC bus staff was at strike or as of huge traffic jam on Thiruvananthapuram road, buses are getting too delayed etc. Our bus finally arrived only after 9:45 PM and with that we were relieved that hopefully we’ll reach Bengaluru on time so that we won’t miss our return flight.
