Enough Indian fishing boats already!
In 4 of the places we went (Mamallapuram, Pondecherry, Tranquebar and Kannyakumari) fishing was a major industry. The fishing boats were really fun to photograph because they were either really brightly painted, or they were made up of logs laced together. Nets and boats were beached at night and left for the next days work. Cows are not fisherpeople but sometimes they guard the boats.

I wish I were there - and not at work now. Nice shots btw!
hey.. whats a good place to stay in tranquebar for a budget traveller? any tips?piyu
There were only two official places and they were run by the same folks. Both are at the end of the main street that leads to the old fort. I don't remember the cost, but we had some trouble with the hotel management who kept telling us there was nowhere else to eat so that we would eat there.
Throughout my trip though, Tranquebar was one of my absolute favorite places.
