Another change of itinerary on this Silversea cruise around India on Silver Wind. Tuticorin, added last minute as a replacement for Colombo in Sri Lanka, didn't quite gel with the passengers on the previous cruise so it's been dropped from my cruise as well.
I'm told there was a "near riot" because it was such an awful place. Well, I did say in a previous posting that it was famous for its port and railway station. Didn't sell it for me either.
So instead, we're doing another day at sea, but it means we are getting into Cochin several hours earlier than planned, which is great. We stay there overnight and I'm planning to go a tour of the Kerala backwaters. I've been before but they were so lovely a return visit will not go amiss.
