So this time when we went home (Our last 'Going to Home Town' experience for the next few years, Yay!), we, ie. me, my sis, mum, dad and aunt went to visit a Fish Farm (part of Water tourism) of Matsyafed at Njarakkal. They offer a boating-fishing-lunch (they even cook the fish you catch!) experience for just Rs.150/- or something per person. Definitely worth the money. Lots of Sun, wind and water. What more could anyone ask on a hot summer day. Hmmmm. Maybe a little less Sun? My Sis and I burnt dark brown. Noooooooooooooo! Hehehe.
See the pics? Totally worth it.
Next is a picture of the Njarackal costline which is just one minute away from the Fish Farm. The waves are wild and practically no beach to speak off. As you can see there is a stone wall between the beach and the road to prevent the Sea from encroaching into the Land. We could not get down to the beach. We were not sure whether it was safe. But my Sister and I had fun climbing the modest rock wall! A beautiful sight.
From Njarackal, we went to Kochi Marina and Bolgatty Palace (which are side by side. In fact the Marina is on the Palace Lands, I think.) which is not really a Palace but more like a Mansion! Atleast so it seems to me!
This is a view from the Marina. The Great Cochin. She is Beautiful, is she not?
This is a partial shot of the Bolagatty Palace. This part of the Palace has been converted into a Hotel. One day, when I am well off (Sigh!), I am going to come here and spend atleast two days in their Palace Suit. Wonder when that day will come! There is a Restaurant here with a view of the Cochin Backwaters. Good food, somewhat affordable prices and a breathtaking view. This is a good place to spend an evening.
The main part of the Palace is out of bounds. But the gardens are open to Public. Look at all that Water.
Amazing, right? I love this place. The night view must be out of this world. I can just imagine the cool breeze, the lights on the water line and their reflection and the backwaters at night. I am definitely going to spend some nights here!
And that put an end to our family day-out. I have more pictures. But all are in the memory card of my camera which I left at Cochin! I am now back at Calicut. Two or so more weeks to endure and then it is back to Cochin!!! Oh God! Why is it that the time goes really slow when you are waiting, anticipating for something to happen? So unfair!
p.s. The pictures shown here were taken with my mobile. Hence the poor quality! I will try to load other pictures when I get back to Cochin. But no promises!
