Arrived closed to midnight from Singapore and the hour and half drive from the airport to the hotel at Fort Kochi was in darkness.Home base was a 230-year-old bungalow that has seen better days. The Ballard Bungalow has only six guest rooms but they were all huge.
It was old and could do with maintenance but I loved the creaky teak floors and the misaligned wood of the old house. Plus it was in a great location.Since I had the morning to myself. I could either explore my new surrounding or sit outside on the balcony to relax and read my book.
I dove right in and just wondered around. A long ocher colored wall was the first sight that greeted me as I walked out and then a herd of goats. 
I just followed my nose down the road to a fish processing area where fishermen were selling their catch.
Being the only gawky-eyed tourist mingling with a bunch of men, meant that I got a chance to photograph them as they worked. The pier allowed me to find the Chinese fishing nets and the larger fishing community that was based there.
