We had a swim in the sea in the morning, well, it wasn't swimming, rather fighting the waves. I really felt my muscles working hard. Then we took a public bus to Trivandrum/Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of Kerala. We visited Shree Padmanabhaswamy Temple, which is a Hindu temple. Foreigners are not allowed to enter the temple so we could only see it from outside. After that we met with Ted from Couchsurfing, and with his friend. They invited us for masala tea to a beautiful, traditional restaurant. It was too hot today and we were not able to eat anything because of that. We had a great time with them, talking about India and Europe. Ted is a businessman and ex tour guide, he told us some interesting things about Kerala, he is very proud he lives in the capital.
