28 islands of Kochi

Here's an interesting vacation experience from an Indian newspaper. If you have no idea what I'm tlaking about here's an excerpt from the article:

There's Vypeen for instance, that has a famous 15th century Portuguese fort. And Bolgatty, with its Dutch palace (1744) that is now a 5-star heritage hotel. And tiny Gundu island, with its ancient coir factory hidden among the palms, actually owned by the Taj. However, it's still Willington island that has me hooked, man-made but with a charming tale that Captain John Early tells me his grandfather passed on to him years ago.

The article doesn't actually say, but I think I can infer that Kochi and the islands mentioned in the article are in India near Kerala. Don't quote me on that.

I may just do some more research, though, and you'll know why after reading the article. There's lots of talk about history, spas & massages, boats & ferries carrying you around the islands, and other good stuff.
