Cochin India in the state of Kerala was a welcome surprise after seeing Chennai. The city didn't have great tourist sites but we readily could see that it was clean and the people wore nice clothes and all looked happy.Our guide was so appreciative that Queen Victoria ship stopped for the day and he knew what it meant to the town financially.
We took this taxi to the Hotel Malabar for a great lunch on the main water way of the harbor. Our guide told us there is NO illiteracy and this was India's wealthiest state because every family had a least one member in a western city like Dubai, London or the US, working and sending support money back home.
