Tourist's Shopping Paradise.
We tried to drive down from the Jankar ferry terminal along Bazaar Street to Mattancherry Palace, but the street was so narrow that if there was a lorry parked on one side then we had to drive the car with two tires on the footpath. So we parked in one of the side lanes and walked part of the way.
The Bazaar Road leading up to the palace is lined on both sides with spice, antique, curio, perfume and tea trading shops. The shops are swarming with tourists, both foreign and Indian trying to get the best bargains. We bought some spices, tea, coffee and perfumes and then landed up in an antique shop selling old radios, enamel utensils, wooden statuettes, paintings and other memorabilia.
Finally we reached the Mattancherry Palace and the Paradesi Synagogue near Jew Town and these are tourist attractions in their own right. We had a cup of coffee in one of the cafeterias near the palace.
