NOTE: Before starting I request u all to read the post without missing even a word!!!

I thank all my FRIENDS who made this tour a most enjoyable one in my life. 

Now our tour starts here...

We departured INTERCITY XPRESS from central at 2.30pm on 20.03.2009. We 

started enjoying our travelling by playing cards, chitchatting, and Eating everyone's food. On your left side you can see cute 9 month old baby playing with us (the baby almost got close to me :D). After 8 hours we reached Coimbatore railway staion at 10.30pm for the next departure towards Ernakullam. We had almost 3 hrs for the departure so we went to have some dinner and roamed in the station. Our train arrived at coimbatore station at 1.15pm all of us went to sleep after an hour inside the train. 

We arrived Ernakullam station around 6.00am on 21.03.2009 and refreshed ourself in 

SHALIMAR RESIDENCY that was booked already for us. We went to a nearby temple( The speciality of all the temples in kerala s no men should wear their shirts i mean we should got inside the God's place with a bare body :D). And had we had some dinner in AARYA BHAVAN and started for side seeing in a bus already being booked for us. We started at 10.00am. 

Sight seeing places in ERNAKULLAM

ERNAKULLAM

FERRY BOATING:

This was our boat for 3 hrs to visit Bolgatty palace, Chinese Fishing Net, Jurish Church and museum. This boat occupied only 24 of us. We took many photographs inside the boat and also enjoyed dancing for the songs they played inside the boat.

BOLGATTY PALACE:

 Actually ths pic was uploaded from website. Becoz we jus saw ths place from the boat didnt go inside the palace :D. Was nice to see in real. A small description about the palace (The Bolgatty Island is a short but inspiring boat ride away from Kochi. The commercial capital of Kerala is also blessed with monuments of great historic relevance. One such monument is the Bolgatty Palace. Set amidst lush, tropical greenery, this prestigious heritage hotel answers your quest for a holiday of quiet enchantment. One of the oldest existing Dutch palaces outside Holland, this quaint mansion was built way back in 1744 by a Dutch trader. In 1909 the palace was leased to the British and it served as their residency till 1947 when the British Raj came to an end in India).

  CHINESE FISHING NET:

This is a different kind of fishing. If they drop these nets inside the sea around 30 mins. But our luck as soon as we went there they rolled back the net from the sea n the biggest thing is that no fish was inside the net ..lol... xcept 2-3. Cool Kinda fishing.

JURISH CHURCH: 

I dunno anything about ths churuch because no one was there to tell about ths to us. But i have lot of photos to b uploaded in ths.

 INCIDENT: In btw VENKATESH was shouted by the near by ppl for swinging in a plastic swing which was located in the kinder garden..lol.. i have the video as a proof is any one interested in seeing the video pls tell me ill upload it ;D.

MUSEUM:

This Museum had many historical words, stamps, coins they used n many other interesing things. CAMERAS ARE STRICTLY PROHIBITED :(... 

In btw we had our lunch in HOTEL ABIRAMI. Then we continued our sightseeing to a palace.

TRIPUNITHURA PALACE:

A beautiful palace for viewing also interested in residing in this palace ;). Inside ths palace we can see the ornaments of a maharaja who ws residin there in late 1980's , the weapons, the chariots they used n some statues inside the palace. Outside the palace there were many deers with beautiful long horns on their head.

INCIDENT: Near the deer park a jackfruit was found lying on the ground. We robbed the fruit to the bus inspite of heavy securities ;). This Team was headed by NARESH because he was the one who made his way with that fruit towards our bus..lol... 

CHOTTANIKKARA TEMPLE:

This was our last sightseeing for the day. I heared & believe fromPARAMESH ths temple s famous for avoiding BLACK MAGIC by hammering a doll in a big tree. We also enjoyed seeing the crackers burst for us ths event is called as VEDI VIZHA.  

Atlast our first day of our tour came to an end by enjoyin dancing in our bus on the way to our rooms. The main drawback in ernakullam was the weather it made us into ashes. I guess the weather was 38-40*C. Dinner went good in AARYA BHAVAN with some nice dishes.

The second day was our favourite area (MUNNAR). Before paying the travels we had idea of xtending our tour till 25th to xtend a day to spend lots of time in MUNNAR. But our HOD told us that we should back on 24th night to attend the model xam... :D.

MUNNAR:

We got up early at 5am on 22.03.2009 to make our way to munnar. Made our way from ERNAKULLAM to MUNNAR at 6am it was a long travel we finished our breakfast on the way in a 5 star hotel the make the foods fresh we were pleased to eat there..lol..jus kidding a bad food in a small hotel :( . We reached MUNNAR at 11.30am and ordered TN rice for our lunch because kerala rice was so big n was uncomfortable to eat somehow we had our lunch in that hotel. 

The  photos are about a beautiful scenary on our way to MUNNAR :D.

This was our resort in MUNNAR for the day(S.N Tourist Home) 

INCIDENT: As soon as we entered the resort we switched on our room TV. Our room was big with 6 beds and 8 of us should stay in the room. So TV was our hobby but our bad luck our TV didn work so SATISH n MYSELF made an idea to xchange our TV with other 4 rooms making a fool out of them but GURU locked his room hearing our plan next to GURU room was YUGASIRPI's so we made them to move out of their room foolin with fake reasons. We two(SATISH n MYSELF) entered the room I locked the door and SATISH was disconnecting the TV and i carried the TV out n SATISH opened the door lock but our bad luck YUGASIRPI was standing outside the room near the door n his room mates SANMUGA SUNDARAM n THANGADURAI shouted at us hearing these noises the receptionist guy came to our rooms and within a sec i transferred the TV from my hands to YUGASIRPI's and i ran off to my room. Atlast YUGASIRPI was bashed with some shoutin from tat resort guy...lol. :D. 

 

We started for sight seeing at 1pm.

RAJAMALAI:

We didnt visit this place because it has been changed to a reserved forest :(.

ECHO POINT:

I suppose u all know how ths place works. We also had some boating facility here but too few boats around here so we moved to another good boating place :D.

MATTUPATTY DAM:

This Dam also included boating as i already mentioned above. We enjoyed paddle boating and Row boating for 30 mins. And we took many photos in ths place. Ths was our last place in the MUNNAR for the day.

We reached our rooms by 8.15pm on 22.03.2009 by shopping some good items for our home :). Had our dinner at 8.45pm.

INCIDENT: We went for a night walk around 9.30pm on the highway road. Starting from our hotel we covered approx 3-4kms as the road became even more darker many returned to their rooms xcept GURU, SRIVATSAN, SRIDHAR BALAJI, NARESH, PRAKASH, PARAMESH, SUNIL, SAJITH n MYSELF. We decided to cover few more distance but PRAKASH told we can return to our rooms becoz he almost was shivering thinking of some horror movies...lol... So we started walking towards our resort suddenly PARAMESH disappeared n we didnt notice that he was knelling on the dark side of the road and he got up from the dark side like a ghost with a noise and I was stunned n shouted a bit :D almost we got frightened becoz of him n we continued our walk with a big laugh. On our way we found a road with lots of darkness covered to make our walk more adventurous we started walking towards the road but PRAKASH disagreed with that walk we somehow compelled him and made him walk with us on the road we covered few meters suddenly GURU n PARAMESH started making some howling noises n PRAKASH started running from that place hearing the noise and ended his run in our resort rooms...lol... :D. Atlast we discontinued our walk n returned to our rooms. :).

We woke up in the mornin at 6.30am on 23.03.2009 and we got ready for our travel towards ATHIRAMPALLY. Our bus started fro MUNNAR at 8am n we reached ATHIRAMPALLY falls at 3.15pm. We had our breakfast and lunch in hotels on our way. 

ATHIRAMPALLY:

We depatured in our bus at 6.00pm and arrived to the THISUR station by 7.15pm with a lots of enjoyment in our bus and we departured TRIVANDRUM xpress by 11.15pm. In btw we spent our time in our dinner and shopping some eatables. The good news is that SRIDAR BALAJI gave treat for us the value of the treat was 300/- :D.
