Landing in kollam was a bit of a shock to the system after the calm of the train. Out of the wrong exit and onto the busiest street i have witnessed. It was like thousands of cars, trucks, rickshaws and bikes were fired out of a gigantic sawn off shotgun in each direction. Bollocks to this.... Into a rickshaw and straight to the tourist office. The helpful if a little morbid and vacant lady at the office did us a great favour... We checked into a stunning and quaint little bungalow on the waters edge called ashtamudi villas. We also managed to get a bargain as it was quiet. Over the next few days we were treated to river-wide non-safety assessed fireworks display for st. sebastian as part of a local christian festival. We also just relaxed by the lake in hammocks for a few days. Bliss.
