Vanuit Kochi kunt u met een boot de zee op om walvissen te zien. Wij hebben na ongeveer 1,5 uur varen 2 walvissen , een setje ?! , kunnen volgen. Af en toe kwamen ze boven water. Zeer indrukwekkend. Omgelooflijk dat men ze op eet !
In Kochi you can hire a boat and go for whale watching. Increadibly great to see 2 big whales swimming next to our boat. Its a pity one eats those beautiful creatures !
