Well here are pictures of Day 2 in India. Amazing what can be done for a few
hours in the morning when you suffer from jet lag!

 

We arrived in Ernakulam in Kerala at about 4 am and slept a few hours before
taking in the sights. The sights being Ft Kochin, a 16th century
Portuguese/Dutch/English fort used by the local royals and the colonial
administrators to run the region; the Backwaters, a scenic web of waterways
long the coast of India just north of Ernakulam and Ft Kochin; and then the
Onam Festival in Ernakulam, which is explained here:

left about 8 or 9 pm for a long ride to Madurai back in Tamil Nadu.

Look in the middle of the map for Hwy 47 and follow that west and then
south. You will find Ernakulam and Kochin and that is where we were. Then I
believe we took Hwy 49 back towards Tamil Nadu which is a different set of
pictures.
