This is a trip around south india too. We started out directly to Cochin, stayed in Fort Cochin itself (a lot better then Ernakulam).
From there down to Kanyakumari where we stayed a little longer out of need for fresh air (Moni especially). We then decided to go to Courtrallam instead of
a big city right away. A short stop at Madurai and back.
