Two laid back, relaxed days in Kozhikode! A coastal City by the Arabian Sea, with a lovely beach and so many gourmet eateries! In earlier days, Calicut was called the 'City of Spices", for the spice trade that flourished here. In recent years, it earned another title, the "City of Sculptures" (Shilpa Nagaram) for the abundant sculptures around the City.
The horrendous 175 km drive from Bekal to Kozhikode, which took us almost 6 hours of driving time, was an absolute nightmare! The drive through the towns of Kannur, Tellicherry & Mahe would test the patience of a Dalai Lama. 😂 Seriously! In our entire road trip, across the length and breadth of India, this will rank as the worst segment.
Our two days at Kozhikode has been all about home food. Appams & stew, Puttu & Egg roast, Fish curry meals, Prawns in any form......😜😋😀 Try out "The Shap restaurant", on Beach road, next time you are in Kozhikode.
Tomorrow, we head back home. Part 1 of "One from the bucket list" - our Discovery of India - will come to a closure. A fond memory that both of us will carry, forever! The constant encouragement from family and friends has spurred us on - without a doubt! Thanks a ton!
Cheers, take care.....and..
Stay with us .......🚘🙏👏
