Tummy Trouble in Trivandrum

My time in Trivandrum didn't go too well, My stomach upset got worse and I eventually took my self off to the local hospital for some proper medicine. At the Hospital I was worryingly 'admitted' however this was only a registration fee and I was taken to see a Surgeon who checked me over and proscribed a load of antibiotics and some tablets to repopulate my stomach with good bacteria. (medical Yakult I think) . So I spent most of my time in Trivandrum feeling very low and week. I did manage to take a bus out to Kovalam Beach one day which is about 15km down on the coast and is a an apparently popular tourist destination the beach front is lined with cafes and bars and I rented a beach lounger for the day and slept most of it on there, taking the bus back at a round 7pm to Trivandrum. The bus driver was definitely on a mission to be back in Trivandrum in record time or so it semed and drove like a bat out of hell to get back, so much so that when I got back to Trivandrum I actually felt travel sick something which normally doesn't affect me.
Trivandrum didn't seem to be a very interesting place each time I ventured out there was very little to see plus the heat was intense, perhaps it was because I was feeling rather ill as well, anyway, Tuesday morning I rose early and traveled up to Cochin to start my second tour with Intrepid, this time I had a seat reservation and it made the 4 hour journey a little nicer than the last.
