There was a cruise ship at the port today. I saw the people heading out to mangalore in buses. All happy.

Why do they come here? I can think of 1000 different places they can go to and have more fun. They can go to Karwar or Lakshadeep. Maybe they do go to Karwar or Lakshadeep. But why here. Are cruises so long that they need to visit every settlement they find along the coast.

Trust me. This place is boring. Especially if you are not going to go trekking in the ghats or the other places much off the coastline.  Apparently the people from the cruiseliner go to see this. Thats like an extremely costly way to visit a really confused botanical garden. To have a botanical garden here is a joke. The article implies this , albeit unintentionally. I can find better ones in the western ghats with little effort. I saw a group of curious lion tailed macaque’s up in the jungle when i went for a little excursion there. Lion tailed macaque’s aren’t botanical gardens, but how cool is that? Take that, stupid cruises.
