Cochin, India - The water tour

On March 17, 2017, we went to Cochin, India and booked a tour through Norwegian Star. When we got on the bus we sat at the very back and the seats were super bouncy. There are a lot more motorcycles than there are in America. Anyway, Lynn and Julliet (the ladies that play trivia with us) took the tour and we got to sit with them. They are French Canadian.



After the really long ride on the bus, we went on a boat and we saw people doing their laundry and whacking it to make it dry. We also saw a coconut tree with a cage under it so that they would not have to worry about any coconut falling on peoples heads.





I bought a beautiful fan when we were getting on the boat that was made out of peacock feathers.

  
We also saw a bunch of people on their house boats. Did you know why people from Cochin have so many house boats? It is because they used to use it to move rice to other places but then roads got invented and they could deliver it by truck. People bought the rice boats and turned them into houses.







They also had mango trees but they were little tiny green mangos,




We saw rice fields, men making stone walls, an old man fishing, and we got to eat little tiny bananas from the branch and they were really yummy.




There was a big water tower with a very spirally staircase. We also saw a temple.





After 2 peaceful hours on the boat we got eat (YAY!). I had lamb stew, cream of mushroom soup, tandoori chicken, naan bread, peas palak, dal thaduka, green peas in parsley and carrot and pea sauce with spices, We also had watermelon juice that was delicious.


After lunch, we got back the boat and then the bus and saw Chinese fishing nets. We just made it back to the ship before it left.
