Our Trip To kanyakumari -Day 2 Activities

Continuation of my earlier post - Our Trip To kanyakumari -Day 1 Activities

We got up early to see sunrise...took some pictures..eventhough we were not able to see sunset atleast we should take photos of sunrise right...we were able to see sunrise from our balcony...It was so beautiful..Thirukkural statue was looking supeb in the sunlight..We went to restaurant and had some dosa's and vada and started our second day trip:)

we got ready and went to catch the ferry to Vivekananda Rock...Oh my god..we saw a huge queue for that..day before it was very less and we though otherway and went back...today queue is very long...but it was fast moving...within 10 mts we reached the ferry..Inbetween ne guy gave 10 % discount coupon for Baywatch ticket..(Our next destination was baywatch anyway)..Boat was overcrowded with people ..thank God we got some place to stand near the open space from where the view was very good...finally after few minutes we landed near to Vivekanada rock memorial..

All the mandapas are also fully crowded and we were not allowed to take any photos inside....In one mandapa ,we could see the foot prints of Kanyakumari devi and in the other mandapa we could see a huge Vivekananda statue..there was one shop which was selling all the publications related to Vivekananda...We sat there for some time..took some snaps of thirukural statue which was nearby and went back in the ferry...we didnt get down at Thirukural statue as it was too crowded.

(Rock in the sea +Fishes in the pond near Vivekananda Ashram+Vivekanamda Mandapam + Madapam where Kanyakumari Devi's Footprints are kept + Photo taken at Vivekanda Rock )

We came back and went to our hotel and had nice lunch...with papad and payasam...we took and auto to reach Baywatch which is only 2 kms from our hotel...Eventhough its only walkable distance auto guy took 30 Rs to reach there..no meters ofcourse:)

We showed our discount coupon over there and got tickets for full rides- 190/- (dry + water) and wax musuem + for camera also

First we entered wax musuem..two sections were there..one where all models belonging to religious section was kept and other with all leaders + people in Film industry.Wax museum is worth visting..it was created by a guy-Sunil Kandallor who got inspired by madame trousseau wax museum,London and learned the technique and created all these models ..so we have a madame trousseau replica in india:)

We went to the place where rain dance was arranged..song was put in the background and water was pumping from all the places..too good...we played a lot...there was see-saw,swings and some other items for the kids..so manikutty went and played everywhere..we came back to the artificial pool as it was time for the artifical pool play...It was almost similar to the one in Wonderla ,Bangalore..I felt Wonderla is worth visting than Baywatch..Baywatch looked like a deserted place where i could see very few people eventhough it was Sunday evening and very few rides ..

We didnt have any spare dress..so we waited there for sometime till our dress got dried ..Meanwhile we saw a magic shop where one guy was showing magic and he was ready to teach magic if we buy any of the magic equipments from his shop..We didnt buy anything..we saw his magic fo some time and came back to our hotel..

Had dinner-chapathi and fish curry:)yummy:).We went back to our room and packed our luggage as we had to leave next day to Trivandrum and he had to check out hotel by 10.00 am in the morning...oh forgot..we had to see our sunrise finally..

Wah...sunrise was too good...see the pictures you can make out ..

It was a really cool trip..we enjoyed a lot...we asked the hotel guy to arrange a taxi to Trivandrum where on the way we could see Suchindra Temple,Padmanabhapuram Palace,Thiruparappu Water Falls,Hanging Bridge -(mathur) and finally reach Ginger - where our stay was arranged..We started from there by 9.00 am.. Bye bye Kanyakumari..
